Excerpt from Inauguration of the Perry Statue: At Cleveland, on the Tenth of September, 1860; Including the Addresses and Other Proceedings, With a Sketch of William Walcutt the Sculptor
First, then. In regard to time, I could have the statue finished and delivered in New York in season to reach you before September, 1860, but not much sooner.
Secondly. If it should be decided to make the statue of bronze and eight feet high, I should require the same amount for it. Delivered in New York, that I have already received for my statue of Webster, of that size and material, viz, In marble the expense would be something more, and then the difficulty about marble would be, the time required to execute the statue; I could hardly have it done in due season.
That you could Obtain the statue on much lower terms than the above, I am quite sure. I have only stated the value of my time and the materials. The pains I take, and my large expenses, make it necessary, that I should charge a full equivalent, however much I may desire the honor of perpetuating in bronze or marble, the form of our glorious perry.
If I have said enough to form the basis for a satisfactory arrangement, it would be well to procure the materials for the likeness, features and dress, soon as possible.
My return home was prevented by a telegraphic despatch, stating that my commission for the government was in a fair way of arrangement. With sincere respect. I am, truly yours.
