ALS, one page, 4.5 x 7, The Athenaeum letterhead, May 5, 1914. Letter to an artist, in part: "I was much charmed by your picture of children in the Exhibition. I have three very pretty bairns, 6, 4 and 2. I was wondering whether I could arrange to have them done in a little bunch. May I ask what your fee would be? I am not wealthy—but none the less the worker is worthy of his hire, especially when the work is so beautiful. If the sum were within my means you would perhaps come & have a look at them. We go to Canada on May 20th—but they don't." In fine condition.
