Clarke, Richard H., New York, New York, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1889 June 03
Scope and Contents
The success accomplished towards the erection of a statue to Orestes A. Brownson is such as to warrant the hope of seeing it standing in Central Park. Clarke has arranged for two lectures here in November by Eliza Allen Starr of Chicago, which with what is in the Treasury will complete New York's quota towards the fund. Clarke inquires whether Brownson or any of Dr. Brownson's family possesses a bust or statue of any kind, or cast of his face, or picture of any kind taken from life, which when needed, will serve the committee in arranging for the statue. Clarke has been requested to add to the committee John La Farge, the artist, who is in favor of a bust rather than a full length statue. Any suggestions Brownson may wish to make will be very acceptable to the committee. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
