Vinnie Ream : printed for private distribution only; and to preserve a few souvenirs of artist life from 1865 to 1878 . the remotest personal acquaintance with her. Thus the opinionrecorded above has been given in utter ignorance of the personality of the artist. 29 Washington, January 31, Dear Miss Ream: Accept my hearty thanks for your very kind note. It gives me great pleasure to say to you that Iheard Mr. Bierstadt, the artist—finest of American Painters certainly—speak in very high termsof your Statue of Mr. Lincoln. He said he liked it very much: that it has expression and feeling,and considering the career of the artist it is a wonderful—a very wonderful success. He says it isperhaps better that it should come from such an artist than from one of established reputation. This was his voluntary expression, uninfluenced by anyone. He liked the bust Americavery much. I have looked for a photograph of the bust but without success. If you can give meone I shall esteem a favor from one whose friendship I greatly esteem. Very truly yours, N. P.
