HIRAM POWERS, ESQ !
Florence" {

| Il tOfC hCCs
To which letter the undersigned have
received the annexed reply, and they think
themselves at liberty to subjoin the follow
ing extract from private letter addressed
by the sculptor to one of them.
&c have stated in the accompanying
letter, that six years would be the time
within which could execute the two stat
ues.-This may seem long, but have al
ready other works, which | am bound to
execute without unnecessary delay. |
could have one of them done much soon
er, but not both. With regard to the per-
sonal appearance of the originals of the
proposed statues, it seems / should have
to form my own ideas, as you say, that
there are no known likenesses of either of
them in existence.-I remember having
read their histories, but have no books
here to refresh my memory. / presume
that the style of dress of their times would
afford the most acceptable, and perhaps
the most appropriate costume; and for
my own part, should prefer to show them.
if possible. as they really appeared; but
how far this could be done remains to be
shown. cannot imagine these men i'll
Greek or Roman costumes.
GA statue or picture always produces
the best effect, when it illustrates some
act or sentiment, and should hope to
find in the lives Of those patriots, some E.
vents, which their statures might be made
to commemorate; and suggestions on this
point might prove very useful to me-"
Since the undersigned addressed their
communication to Mr.. Powers, they have
learned that there exists at Montreal, a
historical picture representing striking
scene in the life of Allen, and that his
portrait in the picture was painted from
the life Doubtless permission could be
obtained to copy the portrait for the use
of the sculptor, and recent information
leads the undersigned to believe that MI
mute and faithful descriptions of the per-
sons and costumes of both Allen o. Chit
tenden are still attainable. A trifiing sum
would defray the expense Of obtaining the
COPY. the books, and all other information
necessary for Mr.. Powers, and if the Leg
islature shall authorize his employment,
small appropriation Tor the purpose oil pro
curing them will probably be necessary at
the present session.
1t is not within the province of the un-
dersigned to enlarge upon the various con-
siderations which seem to enforce the ex-
pediency and propriety of public honors
to virtue and public patronage of art but
thew hone il will not be deemed imperti-
nent in them to suggest, that there Is no
worthier method of testifying our respect
for genius and our reverence for wisdom
and valor, than by appropriating a small
portion of our affluent resources 10 en-
courage the noble ambition and reward
the labors of our great native artist, and
at the same time to do merited honor to
the hero andthe chief Magistrate. to whose
bold and wild counseIs our commonwealth
owes her existence as an Independent
State.
