Album - for which a number of eminent Artists, Poets, Novelists, (including several ladies who respectively occupy distinguished rank in their various processions), Divines, Historians, Statesman, & jurists of our country have already contributed their photographs.- I would indeed be much gratified - although I hesitated in making request of Reading - if you may find it at your entire convenience to render exceeding and inestimable literary favor of enclosing to me your carte-de-viste, with your autograph written beneath the picture, and which I may thus be allowed favor of placing in this choice collection, where, as representation of the justly preeminent lady-artist of our country this momento would be of priceless value, & I need securely that I should gratefully appreciate your great kindness in sending such treasures. I will indulge anticipation that you may please write me at you early convenience, will trust to hear from you soon. In hearts, I am, with much Respect, Very Truly, T. Apolian Cheney, Mrs. L.M. Spencer, H.M.N.S.
