Villa di Quarto. Firenze, May 26.
Dear Governor Francis:
ut has been a dear wish of mine TO
exhibit myself at the great fair and
get a prize, but circumstances beyond
my control have interferred and
must remain In Florence. Although ]
have never taken prizes anywhere else
l used to take them in school in Mis-
souri, half a century ago an dI ought
to be able to repeat now II I could
have a chance. I used 10 get the
medal for good spelling every week and
Il could have had the medal for good
conduct IL there had not been SO much
corruption in Missouri in those days;
still / got 1t several times by trading
medals and giving boot. / am willing
to give boot now. However. those
days are forever gone by in Missouri
and perhaps It is better so. Nothing
ever stage the way IL was in this
changeable world.
Although | cannot be at the fair, j
am going to be represented there, any
way, by portrait by Professor Gelli,
You will fnd it excellent Good
judges say it Is better than the original
They say It has all the merits of the
original and keeps still besides. 1t
sounds like flattery. but II is Just true.
Il suppose gou will get prize be-
cause you have created the most prodi-
gious and in all ways the most wonder
full fair the planet has ever seen. Very
well; you have indeed earned 1t; and
with 1t the gratitude of the, State and
nation.
Sincerely yours,
