John Paul's book: moral and instructive: consisting of travels, tales, poetry, and like fabrications . would forward a photograph, so that a portrait of theauthor might be engraved to beautify the Book, I was absentfrom home. Overcome by the honor done us, and fearful thatthe publishers might change their mind if given time for calmreflection, the Family Sanshedrim, immediately on opening theletter, grabbed the first photograph that came handy and sent italong. Happening to get hold of one given me by a formerfriend, once renowned as a champion of all sorts of weights, it isthus that you come to have quite a tolerable portrait of TheCalifornia Chicken.
