Boston, U. S., January 27, 1 85 1 . 

 My DEAR CARLISLE: I wrote you from the country that, 

 when I returned to town, I should lose no time in endeavoring to 

 look up a good painting of the Falls of Niagara. I have not 

 neglected this ; but though I found it easy enough to get paintings 

 of the grand cataract, I have not till lately been able to meet with 

 what I wanted. I will tell you how this came about. When Bul- 

 wer, your Minister, was here, I asked him, as he has a good taste 

 in the arts, to see if he could meet with any good picture of Niag- 

 ara while he was in New York. Some time after, he wrote me 

 that he had met with " a very beautiful picture of the Falls, by a 

 Frenchman." It so happened, that I had seen this same picture 

 much commended in the New York papers, and I found that the 

 artist's name was Lebron, a person of whom I happened to know
