to give it as good a place as it had
in the Society of American Artists last
spring – a centre of a panel on the line –
but I hope it will be sufficiently
well placed to be well seen, and I
hope you will have a look at it for
I was deeply interested in painting it.
Chase, Harrison, Simmons and others
have spoken very highly of it.
I find that a well-known English
art critic – William Sharp – has been
saying nice things of my museum
picture in an article in the Nineteenth
Century and so I shall take the liberty
of sending you a copy. We are "dulling?
along" here yet for the autumn season
is never very active; at least not
until later than now but there will
be some minor exhibitions before
Christmas. I hope to have a show
of my own this winter some time
and will set about arranging for it
as soon as possible. My sister is still
in a critical condition, in the ninth week
of her fever. This a peculiarly malignant
variety that they produce down in the
West Indies. Hoping "A Rainy Day" will in
due time reach you in good condition
I am sincerely yours
