Gentlemen:

Referring to the oil painting “Undertow,” by Winslow Homer, which you sold for me last year, I send herewith the original sketches made by Mr. Homer, when designing the picture. Also herewith his letter of May 12, 1900, transmitting the pictures.

It seems to me that these should properly go with the picture. Judging other people by myself, the owner would naturally be pleased to receive them, and I now place them in your hands for transmission to him.

Sincerely yours
Edward D. Adams
