Mr. George Grey Barnard, 

New York City. 

Dear Sir: 

I appreciate the difficulty which you have had in executing the portrait bust for us. Nevertheless I am in hopes that you have criticised your own work too severely. If it is not asking you too much or putting you to too much inconvenience I should like to have a photograph sent me before the bust is sent down. Of course I appreciate the fact that your signature to the bust will add considerably to its value, and I hope very much that you will change your mind in that respect. That, however, is a matter for your decision not mine. 

Very truly yours, 

R.D.W. Connor
