273 (259) June 4/97. Dear Mr. Kingsley: Since the receipt of your letter of 17th May I have been absent from home more or less and while here greatly engaged. To-day is really the first opportunity I have had to even drop you a line. I am sending you herewith draft on New York, payable to your order, for $30.00, in payment for the two wood engravings, which kindly accept. All that you wrote concerning the "Moonrise" and your hopes for the engraving interested me greatly, and I doubt not that it will prove to be your most important work up to the time of its finishing. The big "Tryout" is still at Buffalo but I have not yet seen it. I presume however it will soon arrive. -- I am leaving for Montreal to-night to be done several days. With personal Regards, Yours Very truly, Charles L Freer Mr. Elbridge Kingsley, Hadley, Mass.
