Our popular artist, G. 11. WOOD, is gaining
a reputation for excellence of work which is
making Towanda famous. He received the
following flattering letter on Saturday from
a delighted customer:
CAMDEN, N. Y., May 11th, 1881.
Mr. GEO. H. 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.
