Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

In the proof submitted to me of the biographical sketch of
myself which is to appear in the *Photographic Times*, is the follow-
ing, —

"All the English photographic Journals concurred in the
opinion of the Judges concerning "Sweet Home", and without exception
praised it in the highest terms.

One of the ablest critics and photographers on this side
declared it to be one of the best, if not the best picture of the
year."

This latter paragraph refers to you. I would like to know if
I have quoted you correctly. I remember you telling me that "Sweet
Home" was one of the best pictures of the year but I am in doubt
about the rest of the sentence.

I know you had your own opinion of the picture before
Sutcliffe endorsed it the reason perhaps for my thinking you had
endorsed it in the manner shown.

Kindly let me hear from you as soon as possible.

and all the same time make
good that old time promise of
yours.

Mr. Preese is out of town, but
I will speak to him of the falam
on his return. In fact I have
spoken to him on this subject a
number of times and we have
talked thought of getting some pictures
up together as soon as business
would allow it.

Come in to the studio and see
me, I will be there every day
(except Friday) after Friday night.

Yours true, and Friday
