To an unidentified man, explaining that he has been in the country since his arrival from Europe and will not have time to unpack his studio until his invalid wife, who requires all of his attention, sails for the West Indies. "…as soon as my boxes are opened I will look about for something for you." In a postscript, he adds, "You ask how low I would sell the Autumn landscape for. I would make a reduction if it were not too great…." By this time in the early 1880s, styles in art had begun to change and Bierstadt's paintings were not as popular as they had been.
