Dear Sir

Your favor [[of?]] the 15th inst. but postmarked yesterday is just received  You have stated the size of the portrait (28 x 36) when technically styled kit=kat, and is of no moment, -  but have forgotten to say what size you wish the engraving to be.  Supposing you desire the work to measure about 5 by 6 1/2 inches, the cost would be about $75 if 
6 1/2 by 8   " -----                       $100
8 1/2 by 10 1/2 " ----                     $150.
The cost of the inscription below the portrait is not [[?]] but, not included in the charge for the Portrait.

Before stating anything respecting the time [[?]] is needful that I should get some idea of the dimensions you want 

Yours' respectfully

John Sartain
