    This is the original acceptance letter from Saint-Gaudens to Treasury Secretary Leslie Shaw dated August 11, 1905 and signed. The letter's content is known through copies and Dartmouth College's microfilm, but this is original. (I'll also post on the long SG book thread for continuity.)

    I must note that this paper held up very well for 1905, amazing. Besides I am very glad to see something like this, because I love to read something historical, by the way I found here check a lot of historical writings, like Matthew Arnold, I find this very interesting, useful and developing!
