My dear Linton,

Your kind letter came duly to hand. I have been delaying to write you about the portrait in answer—wanting you to do it—& wanting, if I could arrange it, to give you the full price—I will not have the job done by any second-rater, & have concluded to give it up for the present—unless it could be done by you for $50, which, I am fully aware, would not be your due engagement.

I return to Washington in ten or twelve days. Is there any chance of your coming on there?
