User-Contributed Transcription Chicago, Aug. 25 1888
My dear Mr. Hutchinson
My daughter Mary (recently returned from Germany) has at the house four water colors by Raskovich which were sent to her from Winona or La Crosse - I forget which - by a former pupil of that artist, who brought them to this country for sale. The prices marked on them are $100, $90, $60 & $35 respectively. I am not a great judge of works of art but anybody can see that all are good & that the $100 one is very fine - Mary had a particular friend in Berlin, whose sister is Raskovich's wife & that is probably the reason why they were sent to her - I don't know whether the water color furor has reached this country but I think it is raging in England - Anyway these are good pictures - I write you because of your interest in art - My daughter has already bought one & I can't just now afford to indulge
