American painter of figures, landscapes, and portraits (1858–1946). ALS, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, February 6, 1885. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “I have packed and will send tomorrow morning the copies of Palette Scrapings you desire. The sketch opposite page 4 in the last number is mine. I am pleased that you like it…Thanks for your kind opinion of my ‘child’s head.’ I agree with you about the hair. From which it goes without saying that I don’t wear it so myself. I shall be happy to furnish you with any information concerning matters artistic.” Light scattered soiling and mounting remnants, and the writing a shade or two light, otherwise fine condition.
