Letter from William Gray Purcell to Richard W. Bock (December 12, 1913)

Mr dear Mr. Bock:- Please let me know how you are coming with the little faun. We must be sure and have him here in ample time. He is to be tinted, as I recall.

I hope he is done and on the way, but if not, I might suggest that the whole color scheme of my room is extremely light and this might have some bearing on the coloring of the statue it it is not already done. Please let me know by return mail how you are progressing.

Very truly yours, W.P.
