Dear Sir,
Several prominent Chicago gentlemen have requested me to send you a photograph of my Statue representing "The Mississippi River." They are anxious to have it go to Chicago, and they say you are the leader in art matters in Chicago, and if you take an interest in the Statue it is sure to find its way to Chicago.
I shall today send you a photograph by mail of the Statue as it appeared when partially roughed out.
The block from which the Statue is cut weighed 44 tons. The figure if standing erect would be 22 feet in height.
