Howard Pyle, a chronicle by Charles D. Abbott, with an introduction by N. C. Wyeth and many illustrations from Howard Pyle's works.

HOWARD PYLE: A CHRONICLE
as the case may be, to go in with him, he, on his part, would
give me two hundred dollars a year to keep me 'in Paris
for five, six, or seven years, long enough in short for me to
finish my studies there; the only return to be that I paint
him a picture at the end of my studies in my best manner.
For seven hundred dollars a year I could live well in Paris.
If I could only get two others to take part in the arrangement I could manage it, but I do not know anyone except
Harpers who would be at all likely to help me. It seems
hard, when one thinks what two hundreds dollars means
to a rich man, that I cannot manage it. To whom shall
I apply? But here I am at the bottom of my third sheet,
so good-bye.
"HOWARD."
