4. over. United States Senate, Washington, D. C. bound in cloth, for such distribution as you may desire. He will have in all 240 copies. So will [[Senator White]] and each of the House delegation a smaller number. I will frank those I send you of [[Senator Perkins]] quota so that you can send through the mails as an official publication. I will also send a copy to each of the Californians mentioned in the volume, the pall bearers, engineers and others for [[Senator Perkins]], and with his compliments. I hope you will like the portrait. The Senators who have seen it think it a fine likeness. I purposely had the features appear full for the [[Prince]] photograph made him rather full in the face and I think that the dear Governor's friends would rather see him at his best than otherwise. Please let me know when I shall send the fifty additional copies, and I will respond promptly Yours very sincerely [[John B. McCarthy]] (over)
