DEAR Mr. TsRRY Among the many fine works which

country think his model of the Indian is his best work

friends and oountrymen could pay to his memory and 1t
struck that his model of the Indian might be cast in
bronze and placed in fine public hall where the peo
pie could see 1t close to the eye there to stand
ument to the author American sculptor OF great or
many years. @
