" DEAR MR. MARSTON, There will be a 

 reproduction of Walton and Cotton's fishing- 

 house on the World's Fair grounds to 

 celebrate the 3ooth anniversary of Izaak 

 Walton's birthday, which occurs August Qth,

" I would very much like a good photo- 

 graph of his statue in Winchester Cathedral, 

 in order to have an enlarged print made from 

 it to place in the house. If you can procure 

 a good one, and will mail it to me, I shall 

 be very much gratified, and will cheerfully 

 re-pay you for any expense that you may 

 incur. The fine illustrations of the house in

 seeing you this summer, 



" I am, yours very truly,
