“In the month of July you agreed to my request to draw the cartoons
in my studio.
“A short time before I was attacked by the asthma and finding no
relief, was advised to leave the City by Dr. Thompson, and decided
to come here. I suffered only during the night which was very
fortunate as it permitted me to work in the day. I have completed
three cartoons representing the treaty of William Penn and
Settlement of New England which comprises two cartoons. I have
brought one with me on which I work every day. I find the air a
great benefit to me, the water also and expect to be able to
continue the Fresco very soon.”
