Letter from Abraham Taylor Hoagland, 23 August 1894

Elba, Cassia Co. Idaho. . Pres. Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother: I am sorry that I have not been able to answer your letter sooner. I have been waiting thinking I could get my affairs in order so I could go, but I find I cannot possibly get ready by the appointed time.

Letter from John Howard Brown, 23 August 1894

NEW YORK 189 Wilford Woodruff, Dear Sir: We enclosed for final revision, your biographical sketch au prepared for the National Cyclopedia of American Biography. Please read carefully and see if correct. If not returned within ten days the Biography will be considered as pronounced correct by you, and it will be printed as it stands. As Portraiture is the demand of the day, and makes bio- graphy so much more intelligible, it is our plan to embellish every Biographical Sketch with a Portrait, and to make this work a Na- tional Portrait Gallery. These portraits are not photographic re- productions; they are drawn in pen and ink, nearly life-size, by skilled artists, at a very large cost. The Publishers have paid $35, for the simple drawing of some of them. They are then reduced which gives them their fineness. 20,000 of such Portraits in- volves an expense which no syndicate of publishers could possibly assume; but the Publishers feel assured that when the work is placed on sale, you will be sure to purchase it for the Portraits themselves. Therefore, if you will simply give an advance order, giving them the assurance of so much support, they will make the Portrait at their own expense, and insert it without charge. When the Sketch is once printed it will be too late to add it. The work cost just as much without the Portrait, and to insert it will cost you absolutely nothing. It is the plan to have your Biography appear in the forth coming volume; but before closing it up we think it only courte- ous to give you an opportunity of having a Portrait inserted. Four Volumes are ready, and the balance will be issued to each year. If you will return the enclosed order blank, we will wait for the proper photograph, etc. Very respectfully, Jno. Howard Brown N. B. Managing Editor.
