An Eames Rebus Letter
18 November, 2016
You might know of Charles Eames for his famous chair , but he was also quite the clever fellow with phonograms. He wrote some very charming, if somewhat indecipherable (for the Author, at least) rebus letters to his daughter Lucia. Can you decipher it? The Author presents her attempt below.
Lucia,
I am so sorry that I cannot take you to school. Are you drinking milk like a saint.
[the Author really has no clue what the last sentence is. Any guesses?]

It rained all (awl) the way to (weight) akansas? Maybe?
I think that is correct! Thanks Neal (and hello!). I never would’ve gotten awl.
