you until March 1875 for it is my desire and intention to learn everything about the art that one can know. The Pres. advised me as I have written and so the decision of the matter is with you after all. In case something should prevent your going to Europe then we would both be agreed upon my going after Nov 13th. If I should consult my own wishes only, I would be in Rochester next week but from your experience, and the judgment of others I think that it would not be best for me, if next Spring will do as well. Perhaps it be proper here for me to ask what wages you give good workmen, and how long it would be before I could be of use to you? Enclosed I send a photograph of myself which I think good. Please let me know soon what I am to do. If you want me to come immediately, I will. If not name the time next Spring if possible, and I will shape my plans accordingly. Very respectfully, W.T. Hornaday
