April 20, 1870. Henry Williams, Esq. Counsellor at Law. Savannah, Geo. Sir: Since my letter of the 18th inst. yours of the 17th inst. has been received. I shall desire to have the picture made as you propose. The size of the canvas which I mentioned will be preferable, as it corresponds with most of the other pictures in the office. You are authorized to contract with the artist for the picture without a frame at the cost of one hundred and fifty dollars. Whenever the picture is sent, with the bill, I will remit the money. Very truly yours, E. R. Hoar, Attorney General.
