although we are not publishing the good places sadequately from the point of view of sculpture, we have good plates for every thing that's worth the expense. The sculpture itself used all to be sheafed at the No. and of "our" apothéke between the windows, with heavy pieces on the floor.

We should be delighted to get rid of everything we have here in the way of catalogue (I don't know how delightful Dick Stillwell will be to transport it) and shall turn it all over to Ellen Granted the book is well enough along to assure that no further questions may arise which might require consultation of the original records. You know, or ought to, how mournful numbers sometimes are, and we only have one comparatio between old and new, and that is in Philadelphia.
