Letter : to G.S. Winslow, 1863 Jan 14.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81157952

Hughes thanks G.S. Winslow for ordering "another Pic[ture] of Rubens" for his friend Mr. Hutchinson, which was sent with this letter. He has taken "the liberty of making a slight alteration in the picture by throwing a cloak over the balustrade because it gives richness to the subject." Given the difficulties of having "so small a photograph to work from," he must charge 30 dollars for it. In the postscript Hughes asks his patron to "protect this Pic with a board the same size on each side." Dated from Dorchester, 1863 Jan 14. Signed Ball Hughes.
