I very- mufch hope, as you suggest, that I may be able to. come,' son:© day before too Jong, to see my statue. F?om 'l'.'* picture paper sent me, it looks as though it were placed remarkably ' well. Would it be possible, if a photograph has been taken, without the flags and the crowds, to let me have a copy? I would write direct to a photographer and get him to take, one or two views of it, but I imagine it may already have bsen photographed. I received the cheque for £341, for which I hope you will thank the committee on my behalf. With renewed thanks for your kind letter, believe me, vonrs sinoerelv. " K. SCOTT."
