I may yet have three or four years of life, and per haps 1 may get some work to do, It fs very gratifying for me to receive this medal from my son, and [ am very proud that my son has given it to me.” Mr. La Farge is evidently somewhat sensitive at being referred to as “an aged artist” or as broken down In health.
