Hudson Summit Co. O.
Jan. 13.1849
Dear Mr Winter,
Your very kind letter came hand in
due time, or in other words, bearing date of Oct. 30th
it got here a little before the 1st of Dec. I had in
the mean time got one from Mr. Cannon and ans
-wered it about the time I got yours, I thought I would
wait till I got his answer before answering you, & then
let him wait a little while. But as I have heard
nothing from your place I had got tired of waiting
& a little concerned at the delay lest he or his fam
-ily should be sick, & so I begin now.
In the first place, let me thank you for the
trouble of drawing the battle ground for me, although
it is the same one I copied. It was the view from the
west I felt anxious to have, & if you can afford the
time & labour [labor], may I ask it of your still?
Your letter also calls for my grateful acknowledge
-ments. I hope to have occasion to be grateful again
for a like favor soon. I have watched the pages
of the Literary World with much anxiety for the
announcement of your picture among the prizes
of the Art Union, where such things are reported
weekly, but in vain. I hope it will belong to the
collection for next year. However little I may be
able to do for you, I sympathize with every effort
you make and hope you will be able to realize
