Dear Mr. Lincoln

I am glad to have the small Hesler portrait you so kindly sent and have made very careful comparisons. There appear to be four different positions made at this time.

Under separate cover I am sending you the pamphlet describing the book of the Photographs now ready for the press and upon which I have been working so long. I have decided to make it much more elaborate & expensive than I at first intended and shall spare no expense, except that the binding must be simple, as many may prefer to rebind it. I hope you will approve of the form and style of this advertising pamphlet.

Enclosed is a copy of an unusual portrait of Wilkes Booth I have recently acquired which I would like to add to your portfolio. I have still another, now being copied, which I will send you also, a little later.

I have sent Mr. Sweet a copy of the pamphlet.

Faithfully yrs

F.H. Meserve
