Dear Miss

I feel anxious to know if my letter dated Dec. {11th ?}
addressed to Mrs Stanford has arrived, as it is im-
portant to know Mrs Stanford decision about
Mathew's verse, which being too long -
can't possibly be written on the picture of
Christ blessing the people.

Of the first days of March I will send
half of the big picture, Christ blessing the
people, and {1 ?} of the 8 pictures for the Museum
building viz Rome, Cyprus, {painting ?} arch-
tecture. I wish to be ready with the other
half of the big picture by the end of July but
I expect Mrs Stanford to be so good to forgive
in case of a little delay as it is only working it
that we could realize such an imposing
work. It is, I assure you admirably fine
the two pictures on the sides of the front
facade are I expect already at Palo Alto, with
some mosaics for the apse - they left here on
the 28th of October
