Dear Sir

Miss Harriet G. Hosmer, the great sculptress is here and, at her request, I wish to make an appointment with you to meet her and her friends tomorrow morning about 10 o'clock, to look for a lot in some prominent place, where she can erect a bronze statue to her late father, Dr Hosmer,preparatory ^^{in connection with} which she will probably dispose of her old lot no. 367 at the north end of Narcissus Path (Forrest Pond) as that place is unsuited for such a purpose. --

I told her we could take her old lot, privately, and give her as much, as she would otherwise get.
