Jan'y 19 1846

Dr. Bigelow

Dear Sir

I received your letter on Saturday evening informing one that the Trustees of Mt Auburn have done me the honor to select me as the person to make the proposed Statue of my Father - I need scarcely say how fully I appreciate the kind consideration which must have prompted such a selection, nor how gladly I shall embrace the opportunity, to dedicate my best powers to such a work -

I will meet the committee at 4 o clock on Wednesday afternoon next at my house in Bussey place No 3 if such time & place is convenient to them & if not wherever & whenever they will propose.

Most truly Yours

W.W. Story
