Mrs. Leland Stanford,

Dear Madame,

In writing
to my cousin the Rev. James
Otis Lincoln of The Church
Divinity School, San Mateo, Cal-
ifornia a few weeks since
I mentioned a beautiful
collection of drawings which
were for sale in Holland
and which I thought ought
to be placed in one of America's
great libraries, or universities
or private collections.

He was so impressed with the

idea that he wrote to you
immediately and this morning
I received a letter from him
asking me to send you any
information which I might
have concerning the pictures.
The drawings have been
reproduced and published in
a beautiful illustrated Bible
(costing $100.00 a copy).

Now that the Bible is launched
the originals are to be sold
and they form indeed a rare
and valuable collection.

The pictures were exhibited
in London last year (but were
not then for sale) and I inclose [sic]
an article copied from The
Studio (England's best Art
Magazine) which will give you
many particulars concerning
