A page features a watercolor and ink illustration in the upper half with handwritten cursive script below. In the drawing, two men with medium skin tones stand on a shore; one faces away while the other hunches over a basket. Behind them, two boats float against a sky filled with gray and orange clouds. The script begins, "It was 'Mill Stones'...", signed by Alice Kistler and Warren Chase Merritt in August 1937.
