WOOD : My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this morning, and was paid for and taken in less than two seconds after it was opened. It is without doubt the linest picture of any kind in town; in fact, the finest I ever saw at any price. I cannot compliment you sufficiently for your talent, and assure you that you will never regret the labor bestowed 011 this piece of work; it will be productive of other simi lar work from this section and to 110 small amount. I have no doubt that by putting it on exhibition in wipdow I could secure you hundreds of dollars worth of work. I have compared it with former one of same subject made by you at sls J think, and this is very much finer. My wife, who is a daughter of the subject, is perfectly carried away; you may consider her under obligations to you. Again thank ing you, I remain, Yours, &c. A. C. WOODRUFF.
