Worcester Aug 21, 1839
Friend Brown
I have sent today the Large painting accompanied with this + another letter I commenced a week ago - I have written to Dr. Gregesson respecting the frame if you think it worthy of a better frame - the Dr. will bespeak one of [[Dogget?]]- I hope some of your [[underline]]sitters [[/underline]] will take a fancy to it. You may have all over $75 that you can get for it - Oh!! That I could go on with another large one - which I have commissioned since I saw you - but am afraid I cannot unless there is a prospect of getting something for this. I have sent a small one with the large one - which you liked when you were here, but have finished it since. 
The canvas works splendidly - I am about [[commencing?]] a very large one on it. Do pray write me a line and also Clevenger Tell him I think some of going out to Italy with him - if he will give the bust of Webster to [[underline]] [[Tucker ?]] [[/underline]]. The car master I should receive it safe.
Good bye write me how you like the painting 
Yr truly G.L. Brown
