Description	Poem by Nell Shipman, in her own hand, to painter Charles H. Austin Ayers ("Carlos"). Shipman's reference to "prison days" in the last line probably refers to the bad times during her last months in Idaho (crushing debt, dissolving relationship, terrible weather, and the collapse of her movie-making venture).
Transcription	To Carlos: / "All was divinely silent where we worked. / Soft sunlight thru the studio window lent / Its grateful gleam to painting and pale page. / Canvas and clean paper; on these we poured / The pent-up longing of past Prison Days--" / (Old Lyme, Conn. April 16, 1925) / From Nell----
