The North Carolina Historical Commission Office of the Secretary RALEIGH J. Bryan Grimes, Raleigh T.M. Pittman, Henderson W.J. Peele, Raleigh M.C.S. Noble, Chapel Hill D.H. Hill, Raleigh J. Bryan Grimes, Chairman R.D.W. Connor, Secretary March 12, 1913. Mr. George Grey Barnard, New York City. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of March 10th. I am sorry to hear that you have been ill, and trust that you have now entirely recovered from your indisposition. I regret your decision in regard to the Bust for more reasons than one. I had hoped to have some specimen of your work here in the State Captiol, but inasmuch as you feel as you do about the Busy, I suppose we may as well consider the matter closed. Will you kindly send me the photograph which I sent you? Perhaps some other opportunity may arise to give us some specimen of your art in North Carolina. Very truly yours, R.D.W. Connor
