Mr Chas. Henry Hart.

My dear Sir

I am in receipt of your very kind note of the 14th inst.  It makes me very happy to have so kind a word about my picture - I had intended to send it to Chicago's next Exposition, but will be glad to reserve it for the Academy Exhibition of next fall.  I should be greatly honored if it were to remain in the Academy, and shall be sure if it does. ^[[that]] I shall owe it largely to your generous appreciation - with many thanks
