My dear Mother -

  My big Salon picture has been returned. I am having the frame fixed up and am going to ship it to Fathers office next week.
With another small head - This picture I want to have placed on the wall just as you enter the outside door of the office. The St. Louis committe will see it there. It has been greatly improved, and will make a good showing in an American exhibition. Our summer exhibit is on and I sent a child's head in reflected sunlight. It is the best work I have ever done.
Receive many compliments. Graves wants me to paint his daughter in his garden in the same lighting and I start it next week-
