Portland 
Peas* Mr. Been: 
B&.clc in October we had some correspondence about a 
likeness of Prof. j.w. Bailey of West Point. Thanke to your advice 
I got some biograbhlcel wetter from his grandson but. not a likeness. 
You mentioned, one which you have, (very precious),which you 
thought you could loan me on a. pinch. If you can loan this to me f? 
for a few days, sending by registered mial, I would be very earful 
of it, and. return it as soon as I made sure that a good copy had 
been made. I have secured a likeness of old PaSson Keep the 
guide for many years of the Ktaadn region. 
With best wishes,in haste. 
Very truly yours, 
Mr*
