Text Any textual data included in the document [page 1]<br />Dear Miss Stebbins<br />I am afraid that I must have seemed to be inattentive to your request above & perhaps I have put you in some inconvenience. If so, i am very sorry.<br /><span>I understood from your letter of Dec. 3 that you would draw upon me for one thousand dollars [...] if I should require more security than your [...] draft, in which case I was to refer to your brother, as I did not require any such security. I did not write, but expected your draft.<br /></span>The draft not appearing, I wrote to your brother & got his answer a few days ago, on my return from the South about the same time that I got Miss Cushman's note on Feb. 22nd.<br /><br />[page 2]<br />I will honor your draft, through your brother, or any other channel.<br />I shall do my best to raise another thousand dollars (over the 3000) but I must say the prospect now is very poor, because everybody feels poor & the continuance of the war is so uncertain. I have to be personally responsible to you for much more than I am sure to get, for my security is only the promise to pay on a [...] book.<br />I shall be very sorry for you and ashamed of my country men for seeing your work, they are not willing to pay something new what it is worth.<br />Miss C. speaks of the pedestal [...] give me your directions about <br /><br />[page 3]<br />[cont.] that as soon as you can, <span><span>that is if you want it to vary in from and size from that of Webster. If ought not, to vary much as the understanding with the State authorities was that it would conform. If I would contact now for the pedestal I might save something perhaps; & all that can be saved will be to your benefit.<br />As for all matters touching colour [...] I must leave them to your taste and judgement. I look confidently for a statue worthy my dear friend, & of your genius, & my only concern is that you cannot be adequatly paid for it. With minor regard to your "business man" I am faithfully Yours<br />Mr. Howe<br /><br />[page 4]</span></span> <div data-v-9913fa98="" id="tr_1_tl_2" class="flex justify-center items-center rounded-sm relative m-[2px] selected draggable" data-draggable="true"> <div class="w-6 flex justify-center items-center mb-0 noselect"><span>P.S.
