Can anyone tell me what the legal restrictions on divorce were in Illinois circa 1908-1909, when Wright was seeking one? When were they relaxed? |

I think the value of the collection dropped to $60,000 but don't quote me.

There seems to be one photo missing, a variation on Plate 1 that shows two children under the port cochere, one on a horse. I think they could be the Cheney children, who visited in August.

Here's an even wider version of that photo, showing the piano and other details. I think the tall screens standing folded are Japanese. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee488/Ron_McCrea/Puppet%20wi ... |
