Miss Torre writes to ask McMaster's help in disposing of several paintings of the Madonna, which she has executed. She is the sole support of the three orphaned children of her brother. The paintings are cabinet size, on porcelain, finished in the style of ivory miniature. She gives a private history of herself, stating that she lost most of her property during the war. She refers McMaster to Bishops Lynch and Persico, who know her well, and she offers to send translations from several papers if McMaster can use them, but her main object is to get her pictures placed where they will become known. P.S. She offers to send one or two of her paintings, remarking that they sell at $40 or $50 usually. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
