SIR:-I desire to present for the acceptance
Of the State a bust of my father, the late
Judge Paine, executed in marble bv Brown,
m artist of fine promise, and an associate and
of Powers.
I venture to suggest this disposition of the
oust, not because / am disposed to attach
extraordinary Importance TO any services
Judge Paine has rendered the State, but be-
cause he was somewhat largely identified with
is earlier history, and was honored as one of
is first Representatives in the National Le-
Legislature.
The likeness, it may be proper to add, is
Iery exact, and the bust, as a work of art
done, is worthy ola place in the Capitol of the
native State Of the most accomplished living
sculptor.
l am, with great respect, e
Your obedient servant, {
CHARLES PAINE. I
To his Exccl'ency, {
HORACE EATON, Goccrnor Of Vermont. ]
