A poorly exposed photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West, Agnes Whitaker and Forrest Whitaker dining at a picnic table at Soper's Ranch. All three sit on the same side of the table, facing towards the camera. They are viewed from the left side of the table at a slight distance. Mertie sits at left, closet to the camera, and raises a cup to her mouth. Agnes sits center, she holds a piece of food and glances towards the camera. Forrest Whitaker sits at the far end. He lifts a piece of food to his mouth and looks down. The table is covered in a white tablecloth with plates, cups and other dining implements sitting atop it. In the background, a cabin stands at right, surrounded by trees.
