Mount Auburn Cemetery

Club at Mr. Winthrops Wednesday Evey Dec. 30. 1 Pemberton Square

of some well known Bostonian, or of the American Consul, that the plaster statue of full size is complete. The vouching party may at the same time witness its conveyance to the Trustees.

I saw lately in the papers that the casting of the Franklin Statue is successfully completed. Mr Winthrop spoke to me about fixing the time of its inauguration.

Please learn from Mr Rogers when we may expect to hear from him. I like his design very much, unless perhaps it should turn out that there is more force than grace in the attitude of the head. But I have so much confidence in his own taste and judgement, that I should by no means presume to interfere in the "properties" of which he is so good a judge.

I hear nothing from Mr Crawford since his acceptance of our commission for James Otis. Can you learn from him when we may expect his valuable attention to the subject.

We are ready to execute his contract, similar to your own & Mr Rogers' either of which can be copied. I have not written to him a second time, having heard some rumours of his intending to visit this country ere long.

Very truly & sincerely yrs

Jacob Bigelow
