1846-01-19 Story Statue: William W. Story to Jacob Bigelow (page 1)

Jan'y 19 1846

Dr. Bigelow

Dear Sir

I received your letter on Satur-
day evening informing one that the Trustees of
Mt Auburn have done me the honor to select me
as the person to make the proposed Statue of my
Father - I need scarcely say how fully I appreciate
the kind consideration which must have prompted
such a selection, nor how gladly I shall embrace
the opportunity, to dedicate my best powers to
such a work -

I will meet the committee at 4
o clock on Wednesday afternoon next at my
house in Bussey place No 3 if such time & place
is convenient to them & if not wherever & whenever
they will propose.

Most truly Yours

W.W. Story
