Your canvas for the Jeff Davis
picture being six feet, I
would recommend that you
paint him only below [above] the
knees, leaving a good space
over the head. In fact
full length portraits showing
the feet are seldom un-
objectionable. I believe now
I have answered all your
queries, or rather said all
I think of that may be of
any advantage to you.
Hoping that you may
experience perfect success
in this work, and all others
believe me
Truly Yours
D. A. Woodward.
