Description
English:

Typed letter, black text on white paper

Mr. Van Amringe notifies Mr. Nicolson that Mr. Sievers has been named as sculptor and “awarded the contract for the State of Virginia memorial at Gettysburg.” He goes on to mention that he does not know of Mr. Sievers’ design, skill or whether he “is clever in Equestrian statue work but there is no doubt as to his artistic training and cleverness in memorial work.” Mr. Van Amringe goes on to detail the design of the monument but adds a concern regarding “how Mr. Sievers’ will provide the necessary surface ... remains to be proven.” And “whether the Commission have been wise in their selection of so small an object” in comparison “with the State of Pennsylvania memorial at Gettysburg.”
