The present work is one of several that William H.D. Koerner completed as an illustration for the short story 'Beyond A Reasonable Doubt' by Richard Matthews Hallet published in two parts in The Saturday Evening Post on November 6th and 13th of 1926. Koerner depicts the moment in the story when Melviny Hodges, 'standing in the back door eating one of the early apples, which had begun to fall already' tells Allie Sorensen ''Min Jewett was here to see you,' she announced. 'I guess she's going to let bygones be bygones. The poor thing looked as if she had cried her eyes out; I will say that for her.' (R.M. Hallet, 'Beyond A Reasonable Doubt [Part II of II],' The Saturday Evening Post, November 13, 1926, vol. 199, no. 20, p. 66)
