#3 S.M.A. 1105, 1903. Headquarters United States Military Academy West Point, New York September 19, 1903 My dear General Alger:- I have your letter of the 16th and am very glad to learn that Mr. Freer has received a commission to memorialize Mr. Whistler at West Point. If the memorial is to be placed in the Chapel, a tablet will be the only suitable one. If, however, Mr. Freer and the others interested with him prefer a bust, I will be glad to place it in the Academy's new and handsome Library which in many respects is a far more suitable place in which to memorialize Mr. Whistler than the Chapel. With kindest regards and wishes for you and the members of your family, I remain Very Sincerely yours, R. A. Alger Honorable R. A. Alger, U.S. Senator, Detroit, Michigan.
