We had made an offer on the basis of the whole. I merely mention this, because I know this is an exceptional drawing -- and I part with it with regret. Should it appeal to you at all I will send you a photograph for inspection. The subject is a peasant-woman, holding her child in her arms, and leaving a cottage (Millet's own house.) I hope you will pardon me if this is an intrusion. Very truly yours Alice N. Lincoln.
