Winthrop Statue: Extract from Richard S. Greenough's letter to C. H. Parker

Extract fr R S. G.'s letter to C H Parker

"About a week since I recd a letter fr Dr J.B. Bigelow
authorizing me to draw upon Geo. W. Bond for $1500.
due upon the Statue of Gov. Winthrop. He recommended
me to send a certificate of its execution from the U. S.
Consul which I have done, & also a witnessed conveyance
of the Statue to Mt Auburn Corporation according to contract
which I have not done for 2 reasons. 1st I think the
Corporation are secure of such conveyance by the terms of
the contract. 2nd because if they require more you have
full power to satisfy them."
