Dear prof. Bessey:–

The picture came
this evening, and, judging from
its appearance, received bad treatment
in the mail-bag, for it was
broken from one side to the other through
the [?]. I am very sorry, as it spoils
the appearance. i consider it a good
picture, & looks as you did Sep. 1883.
Thanks for it.

Yrs. truly, J. G. Gentry
