Dr. Bigelow from the committee on the Story

"Boston. Jan 13. 1846
"the committee appointed at the last meeting of
"the Trustees of Mount Auburn Cemetery, to make inquir-
"ies respecting a suitable artist to execute a Statue of the
"late Jude Story - report,

"That they have ascertained that Mr William
"W. Story of this city has designed a bust of his father,
"and also a small model of a full length statue,
"both of which bid fair to convey a more just im-
"pression of the character, expression, and likeness
"of the deceased than, in the opinion of the Commit-
"tee, the Trustees would be likely to obtain from
"any other source.

"They therefore recommend the passage of
"the following vote

"Voted. that a committee be appointed with full
"power to contract with Mr W^m W. Story for a mar-
"ble statue of the late Mr Justice Story to be placed
"by him in Mount Auburn chapel for a sum
"not exceeding the amount which is or may be
"subscribed for that object and in the hands of
"the Trustees (Signed) Jacob Bigelow}
