Dear Mrs. Davies:

At its recent meeting on December 3, the Smithsonian Art Commission voted unanimously to accept the generous gift of the Solon H. Borglum Sculpture Fund of the bronze, "The Command of God to Retreat," Napoleon at Moscow by SOLON H. BORGLUM.

This gift has helped us to not only strengthen our holdings but also be able to present a more complete survey of American art of the period.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued interest in the National Collection of Fine Arts.

Sincerely yours, 

[[Signature - David W. Scott]]
