A TRIBUTE TO
AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS.
By Glenn Brown.
•JAuguslus Saint-Gaudens, the great artist of the age,
was a charming companion, a true friend, and a citi
zen leading to ideal life. His affable manner, quiet
humor, quick appreciation, broad culture, and perfect
taste made his companionship sought and enjoyed.
A sympathetic, candid nature and high aspirations
made his friendship earnestly desired. His unselfish
assistance to committees, institutions, and the govern
ment has been a guiding factor toward purity of taste
and nobility of life.
€JHis thorough equipment, sincerity of purpose, grasp
of composition, knowledge of detail, understanding of
mass, natural genius, brilliant imagination, and poetic
nature, combined with infinite patience, untiring energy,
and effacement of self, have produced the greatest
sculpture of the age.
•jJHis artistic light shines in refined low relief and
bold monumental composition. The relief portraits
of Robert Louis Stevenson and Justice Gray are ex
quisitely delicate, harmonious, restful, dignified, and
beautiful. Portrait busts have attained a new dignity
in his hands. The busts of John Hay and David J.
Hill, while full of repose and individual expression,
possess high sculptural value.
CfHe has made single figures impressive, something
rarely accomplished. The Puritan, a work of art in
5

line and pose, vividly typifies the honest, untiring,
unbending energy of the reformation. Farragut stands
alert, prepared for any emergency, serious, as the
destiny of the fleet depends upon his action, com
manding, endowed with life and art. Lincoln, a
hopeless model in the hands of other sculptors, is a
great work of art as depicted by the mind and wrought
by the hand of Saint-Gaudens. Lincoln's kindly
nature, brotherly love, honesty of purpose, clear and
far-seeing vision, grave with the destiny of the nation,
firm in the salvation of the Union, are shown in these
wonderful pieces of portrait sculpture.
<IOur admiration of Saint-Gaudens' genius reaches the
highest point when we study his great compositions
with their wonderful restrained movement, full of life,
yet dignified and statuesque; natural, but glowing
with imagination, poetry and inspiration. The Shaw
Memorial is a great composition in relief, ideal in
its sense of movement, natural in its depiction of types,
and imaginative in its expression of sentiment. A spir
itual figure which inspires the group to deeds of bravery
and self-renunciation makes this memorial a brilliant
and satisfactory combination of the ideal and real. The
Sherman statue, guided by the spirit of victory and
peace, vividly portrays the sense of motion — positive,
resistless, forward motion. This is one of the great
compositions of the world, full of realism, imagination
and poetry, happily combined, graceful in all its lines,
dignified and imposing, restrained and beautiful.
•Jit is fitting that Saint-Gaudens, one of the immortals,
should have conceived the poetic, mysterious, and
elevating figure of immortality which rests calmly for
evermore in Rock Creek Cemetery, an expression of
his genius, imagination, poetry, and eternal fame.

AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS.

CJ"You can do anything you please. It's the way it's done that
makes the difference." — Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

^[Augustus Saint-Gaudens, by birth half French and
half Irish, by nature and training American, came to
this country at his mother's breasT: in 1848 when six
months old. His father, Bernard Paul Ernest Saint-
Gaudens, was bom in the little village of Aspet in the
south of France. There he learned his trade of shoe
maker, and thence he slowly travelled by way of Paris
and London to Dublin, Ireland, where he met his
future wife, Mary McGuiness, who bound slippers in
the shoe store for which he made boots. On arriving
in New York this hot-headed, eccentric Frenchman,
to the detriment of his trade, developed infinitely more
interest in organizing Fraternal Societies than in selling
shoes. Consequendy, from the first, Augustus Saint-
Gaudens, the third of five sons, took part in the family
Struggle for a livelihood.
fl Until the age of thirteen the youngster received the
ordinary education of the New York boy of 1850.
Those were the days of lickings at the hands of his
teacher, and of fights with the West Broadway "gang;"
and the struggle with these elements shaped the energy
which lasted him through life. Yet despite his prosaic
surroundings his artistic inclinations took shape early.
They originated with the representation of soldiers upon 7

a school slate. They emerged through charcoal-
scrawled drawings upon the neighboring walls. And
finally they were recognized by Dr. Rea Agnew, a
customer of Bernard Saint-Gaudens, who found such
merit in the young man's sketches that he urged the
father to continue his son's education in this direction.
•J In consequence the boy was apprenticed to a hard-
tempered man named Avet, one of the first Stone cameo
cutters in America, who led Augustus a miserable life
for the next few years. At the same time the boy
entered the drawing school of the Cooper Institute.
There he studied evenings until in 1 864 he revolted at
the ill nature of his employer, and upon being dis
charged, obtained a position with a more kindly
master, Jules LeBrethon, and at about the same time
left the Cooper Union to work from the life in the
National Academy of Design.
€JThis period of Saint-Gaudens' youth passed in the
excitement of the days of the Civil War. From his
window he looked down upon the New England Vol
unteers marching along Broadway, in the city squares
he witnessed the recruiting; and these sights, combined
with a glimpse of Lincoln driving through the city,
stirred his blood with that strong but restrained patri
otism which finally he fused into his monuments of
Farragut, Lincoln, Shaw, Logan and Sherman.
<|But the New York life came to an end in 1 867 when
his father made possible for him a trip abroad. The
young man went at once to Paris, where, though Still
earning his living by cutting cameos, he Studied first; at
the Petite Ecole and later under Jouffroy in the Ecole
des Beaux Arts. His master at that time led a revolt
againSt the bloodless classicism of the period. Yet as
the teacher never gave radical vent to his theories, so
8

through later life the pupil tempered by a steadying
restraint his desire for individual expression.
•I In Paris Saint-Gaudens, a cheerful, athletic youth,
made his two great friends who stood close to him
all his life, M. Paul Bion and M. Alfred Garnier.
Because of their friendship he nearly enlisted in the
French army when the war with Prussia broke out.
But a tearful letter from his mother changed his plans,
so that instead he went to Rome, where, for about four
years, he struggled with poverty and debts in his efforts
to complete his training. At last, however, the cameo-
cutting brought him a few lucky commissions from the
family of Mr. Montgomery Gibbs, and gave Saint-
Gaudens an opportunity to finish his first statue of
"Hiawatha," to execute his first ordered monument, a
figure of "Silence," and to go back to America with
some prospect of definite work.
^ The young man's career in the United States did not
stretch out before him immediately in any such Straight
and easy manner as he may have expected. First one
hope and then another fell through, though an occa
sional small task like that of the relief of Mr. D. Mait-
land Armstrong, came to his hands. But at last, after
steady persistence, he obtained the order for the Farra-
gut statue now in Madison Square, New York. From
that day his position was assured, and soon he secured
the opportunity to aid Mr. John LaFarge by modelling
the sculpture for that painter's scheme of "Angels Ador
ing the Cross" in St. Thomas' Church on Fifth Avenue.
So then, after founding the Society of American Artists
with a number of other young men, and after his long-
delayed marriage to Miss Augusta F. Homer, he went
back to Paris to carry out his work.
•JfThere in Paris he completed the Farragut and the
9

Adoring Angels, though these larger commissions did
not represent the only important step which he took at
the time. He had long been interested in the subject of
Renaissance reliefs and medals, such as those by Pisano,
and Mr. LaFarge had already urged him to try his
hand at like efforts. Accordingly, here, at last, he
found an opportunity to begin upon a series of medal
lions which through life he developed with marked
interest, among them those of Mr. William Gedney
Bunce, Mr. Charles F. McKim, Mr. George W.
Maynard, and especially that of M. Bastien Lepage.
•I At laSt, with the completion of the Farragut, Saint-
Gaudens definitely returned to New York to take up
his well-established career as an American sculptor.
For a time he lived in the Sherwood Studios at the
corner of 57th Street and Sixth Avenue. But soon
he found a building at 148 West Thirty-sixth Street
which he altered to his taste. There he continued to
model for the next fifteen years, starting with the angels
for the tomb of Ex-Governor Morgan, a monument
which was burned in the cemetery while in process of
carving.
<flHere, too, in the Thirty-sixth Street studio, Saint-
Gaudens gathered about him the friends of his life;
such men as Mr. Stanford White, Mr. Charles F.
McKim, Mr. Joseph Wells, and Mr. Thomas W.
Dewing. Here Mr. H. H. Richardson, the Boston
architect, brought Bishop Phillips Brooks whenever
the two men visited New York, giving the sculptor the
opportunity of meeting the preacher, a monument to
whom was to be one of his last completed works.
And here, as a boy to study art and to sweep the floors,
came Frederick William MacMonnies.
^ Saint-Gaudens had always been a lover of the theatre
10

and of music. Now he found others who resembled
him in their enthusiasm. Therefore, first this group, as
well as Mr. Francis Lathrop, formed the habit of going
to a litde beer saloon on the East side of Broadway,
opposite Washington Place, to listen to programmes
furnished them by the peculiar combination of a violin,
a clarinet and a piano. Then they employed the musi
cians to come on Sunday afternoons to the Thirty-sixth
Street Studio. And, a litde later, they developed more
ambitious concerts which were held there weekly
during the winters while the studio remained in Saint-
Gaudens' hands.
^ The intimacy with Mr. Richardson, which sprang
up rapidly, led to Saint-Gaudens receiving the order
for the monument to Colonel Robert Gould Shaw,
which stands in front of the State House in Boston.
On first consideration, the artist planned a modest
relief, but, during the fourteen years devoted to it, the
composition became a labor of love which consumed
more of the sculptor's energy than he ever put into
any other commission. The work upon the scaf
folding before the Shaw during the hot summers with
scarcely a pause to eat an apple for lunch undoubtedly
hastened the breakdown of Saint-Gaudens' health.
Yet, on the other hand, the monument furnished him
with much amusement — an amusement which he
invariably obtained from his art — both through the
antics of the horse which posed for him, and through
the very difficulties he encountered in hiring negro
models, who persisted in believing the Studio to be
the den of a devil of vivisection.
•fAlong in this early period, too, came the Lincoln
for Chicago, provided for in the will of Mr. Eli Bates,
and the relief of Dr. James McCosh for Princeton, II

New Jersey. In the case of the Lincoln the committee
first asked Saint-Gaudens to compete. But upon his
refusing, according to his principle, he received the
order outright and eventually produced the gaunt,
thoughtful figure now so well known.
<IThe statue to Deacon Samuel Chapin, popularly
known as "The Puritan," followed the Lincoln. It
has since acquired especial interest as in 1903 the
New England Society of Pennsylvania commissioned
the sculptor to make for Philadelphia a variation of
the first work, and so therein Saint-Gaudens obtained
one of his few opportunities of modifying his earlier
efforts in accordance with his later ideas. The head
he changed from the round Gaelic face of Chapin to a
long New England profile, more typical of the austere
forefather, while the folds of the cloak, the Bible and
the base, he also altered to an extent.
tjJAfter the Chapin statue, Mr. Henry Adams ordered
the figure for the Rock Creek Cemetery in Washing
ton. In giving the commission Mr. Adams would
only suggest that Saint-Gaudens consult with Mr.
LaFarge, who thoroughly understood Mr. Adams'
oriental thoughts. Therefore, the sculptor carried
out his task as well as he could with the advice of
the painter and ultimately, it seems, satisfied the wishes
of Mr. Adams. Though there have been a variety
of names accorded the result, Saint-Gaudens rarely
expressed himself on the subject.
tJDuring this time, while engaged upon the Rock
Creek figure, Saint-Gaudens, at the suggestion of his
friend, Mr. C. C. Beaman, first visited Cornish, New
Hampshire. There, soon afterwards he bought an
old brick tavern which he altered into a summer home.
And there, sixteen years later, he went to live perma
nently, much to the benefit of his last days.
12

tfAbout that date also, in 1887, the sculptor met
Robert Louis Stevenson through Mr. Will H. Low,
an intimate mutual friend. The author and the sculp
tor at once admired one another, and the medallion,
which has since assumed so many forms, Saint-Gaudens
modelled in the Hotel Albert in Eleventh Street,
Stevenson propped up in bed and his wife reading
aloud. Only five sittings of two or three hours apiece
could be obtained then, though later Saint-Gaudens
had further opportunity when Stevenson lived at
Manisquan, New Jersey.
•JShordy after this Saint-Gaudens set at modelling
the figure for the "Smith" tomb in Newport, Rhode
Island, from which he developed the better known
"Amor Caritas." The first variation is now in the
Luxembourg, Paris, while a second stands as a memo
rial to the daughter of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell in St.
Stephen's Church, Philadelphia.
tfln 1892, when the idea for the World's Fair had
reached definite form, Saint-Gaudens, at the invitation
of Mr. Daniel H. Burnham, went to Chicago with
Mr. Richard M. Hunt, Mr. Charles F. McKim and
others, as one of the Committee on the laying-out of
the grounds. This was about the first of a long series
of like tasks which the sculptor undertook through
his life, hoping in such a way to aid the cause of art
in his country. Mr. Burnham desired that Saint-
Gaudens model a share of the sculpture. But the
latter had so many calls upon him that he gave his
personal attention only to the figure of Columbus in
front of the Administration Building, which he carried
out with the able assistance of Mrs. Francois M. L.
Tonetti, then Miss Mary Lawrence, and to the Expo
sition Medal of which he designed the obverse. Upon 13

the reverse of the Medal he originally modelled a
nude boy, which raised a feminine hue and cry. At
first he tried to satisfy this in a number of ways, but
failing, he relinquished the attempt in disgust.
<JThe statue of Peter Cooper now took the place of the
Rock Creek Cemetery figure upon the scaffolding
behind the Shaw relief, which seemed almost a fixture.
On the top floor of a large Stable in Twentieth Street,
the sculptor began one monument to General Logan for
the Lake Front in Chicago, and another to President
James A. Garfield for Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.
While in a third and smaller studio, Saint-Gaudens
modelled the horse of the Sherman from the famous
high jumper Ontario, began the figure for the Sherman
Victory from the woman whom he always considered
to be the handsomest model he had ever seen, and
finished with great interest his bas-relief of Mr. William
Dean Howells and his daughter, Miss Mildred
Howells. CJBefore turning from his life in New York, mention
should be made of Saint-Gaudens' teaching at the Art
Student's League. His work there held a firm place
in his thoughts. Again and again in later years he
said regarding it that he always had felt surprised to see
that for the most part women learned more readily than
men, and that they copied what Stood before them with
greater facility, but that in the end the men made the
further progress and composed and created to more
purpose.
€|During these last years, however, the sculptor's ner
vousness increased Starltingly through overwork. Also
he became anxious to compare what he had done with
the sculpture recognized in Europe. So, as the unveil
ing of the Logan and the Shaw allowed him to shift
14

his studio paraphernalia, he left for Paris in October,
1 897. There he hired a studio in a quiet, garden-like
alley at 3 bis Rue de Bagneux, where he remodelled
the Sherman Cloak, the figure of the Victory and vari
ations of the Stevenson for St. Giles Church in Edin
burgh, and where he began his studies for the figures
of the Boston Public Library.
CfFor some time Saint-Gaudens seemed unhappy and
neurasthenic. But after a trip to his father's birthplace
with his old friend M. Alfred Garnier, he returned
in better spirits and took up his life in Paris and his
intimacy with Dr. Henry Shiff and those others he had
known so well in younger days. He said later that
the three men who to him stood out before all the rest
at that time were James MacNeill Whistler, Paul
Dubois and Auguste Rodin. Saint-Gaudens regarded
Paul Dubois' Joan of Arc as one of the greatest statues
in the world. But Whistler in person most attracted
the sculptor. For the painter came often to the studio
in the evening and chatted with his usual wit, or accom
panied Saint-Gaudens and his friends to their dinner at
Foyot's, an old cafe opposite the Luxembourg. So
with such surroundings, with the gay life of the Parisian
spring, with the benefit of a trip or two in Spain, and
with the success accorded him by the French after his
exhibitions in Paris, he regained his buoyancy, until
suddenly he learned that he was ill and must go home.
Cf Saint-Gaudens' return to America in 1900 marked
the last period of his life, a period which he spent for
the most part in Cornish, New Hampshire. There he
completed, besides lesser commissions, his monuments
to Sherman, Lincoln, Brooks and the Caryatids for the
Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo; and there he renewed
his thoughts upon the groups to go before the Boston 15

Public Library. At this time, too, his attention turned
more than ever before toward helping the cause of
American Art. Two objects in especial interested
him to a tremendous extent. One was the founding
in Rome of the American Academy to be devoted to
the Fine Arts much in the same manner as the Villa
Medici School has been devoted by the French Gov
ernment. The other was the artistic development of
the National Capitol at Washington; where, in con
nection with The Park Commission, he spent much
time and gave the best of his assistance in criticism
and advice toward establishing on an even firmer basis
the beauty of that city. Luckily, although ill, he con
tinued his work for longer than expected because of his
life in the open air. Skating, skeeing and golf he kept
up while his health held out. And, at last, when he
no longer could walk, he would sit by the hour upon
one of the porches, or he would have himself carried
from studio to studio in an improvised Sedan chair.
tJHis first serious occupation lay in the completion of
the Sherman monument, which he modified from the
model exhibited in Paris, studying the bronze after it
had been set up in the field back of the house and
changing it even then. On the Sherman also, he grati
fied his ambition to follow the example set by the
statue of Marcus Aurelius on the Capitoline Hill in
Rome and to gild an equestrian monument. For, as
he expressed it, he was "sick of seeing Statues look like
stove pipes."
•flSecond in importance to him, he had by him in his
studio the studies for the Boston Public Library Groups
constantly turning over the question of their develop
ment. One pedestal would have borne four figures
symbolic of Executive Power, Law and Love. Upon
16

the other base he planned three figures of Science, Labor
and Music. For his own purpose, the studies were
ready to be completed, and if he had lived he would
have finished them in short order. They had long
been upon his conscience. Yet to him the problem
seemed so difficult, since the figures were to Stand where
they would force themselves upon the Library visitor,
that he felt unwilling to carry them through until freed
from financial considerations or the limitations of ill
health.CJThe "Crerar" Lincoln, also for Chicago, was the
next vital commission which he set to work upon after
the Sherman, and therein he carried out his old desire
of representing the President seated. The first Lincoln
had been a Standing figure of Lincoln the Man, and
now by way of contrast he wished to represent in addi
tion a seated Lincoln the Head of the State. Therefore,
to accomplish the purpose fittingly, he took up one of
his series of endless experiments with four-foot models,
composed in varying ways, and with full-sized painted
paper representations of the entire composition erected
out of doors. The monument is yet to be unveiled, but
it went to the bronze founder some time before the
sculptor's death.
^[Another statue which Saint-Gaudens attacked with
zest at virtually this same time, was of Charles Stewart
Parnell, for Dublin, Ireland. The artist took interest
here, because, as he often remarked, he had enough
Irish in his make-up to appreciate the character of his
subject. It is a peculiar coincidence that as few photo
graphs of Pamell could be found, the sculptor turned
to a series of caricatures published in Punch and like
papers during Parnell's trial. So the very sketches
drawn to attack the patriot ultimately came to be used
in his honor. 17

•JAt this time, also, among his lesser commissions, Saint-
Gaudens completed such busts as that of the Honorable
John Hay and such reliefs as those of Mrs. C. C.
Beaman, Justice Horace Gray, the Honorable Wayne
MacVeagh and his Wife, and Justice and Mrs. Stanley
Matthews. Probably the commission for the Mac
Veagh family absorbed him the most. The sculptor
had often dwelt upon the strong magnetic power of the
female sex as contrasted with the domination of the
masculine intellect, and therefore here delighted in
giving rein to his theories. Yet all portraits held his
attention since he thoroughly enjoyed the peculiarities
of his sitters, attempting habitually to shift his mental
attitude to that of the person beside him, whether it was
a hyper-sensitive woman or a rugged man.
<JIt seems especially unfortunate, in view of his ill health,
that upon the night of October eleventh, 1 904, his chief
studio should have bumed to the ground, not only with
all the sculpture in progress, but as well with most
of his portfolios containing the records of forty years.
But he bravely set about recovering his lost ground,
and before long had his commissions again well under
way. •JSoon after this fire he returned to the Brooks monument
which he had studied since 1 901 , and which he carried
so far that only mechanical enlargement and casting
was needed for its completion at the time of his death.
As finished, the figure of the preacher Stands to the front
of an architectural canopy. His left hand grasps a
Bible that rests upon a lectern, his right hand is raised in
a gesture of emphasis, while the swing of the gown and
the direct look from the head gives an atmosphere of
energy and motion. Behind the Brooks, and against a
cross that rises by His side, is a figure of Christ, half
18

shadowed, veiled, reposeful, who touches the preacher
on the shoulder with His right hand as if inspiring the
words to be spoken. The complete monument Saint-
Gaudens reached through his usual succession of
alterations. In his first efforts he had an angel with
the Brooks. Then he designed two figures of the
Christ in relief. And only after much thought did he
decide to make this ideal figure in the round.
<JSaint-Gaudens' work now drew to its close, and his
final tasks included solely the designs for three of the
United States coins, The Caryatids for the Albright
Art Gallery, and the bas-relief of his wife.
tJThe coins he undertook at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt. But the confusion of the carrying out of
this commission often made him regret that he had
entered upon it. Finally, however, after a discussion
which lasted over a year and a half, it was settled that
the Cent should exhibit a profile head on one side and
lettering alone on the other; that the Ten Dollar gold
piece should carry the same head with shifted inscrip
tions and a standing eagle; and that the Twenty-
Dollar gold piece should show a full length figure of
Liberty and a flying eagle. The flying eagle Saint-
Gaudens developed from the bird on the 1857 white
Cent. The standing eagle, he re-altered from a design
he had used on such works as the Shaw Memorial,
The Roosevelt Inauguration Medal and the shield of
the Garfield Monument. Seventy or more models of
the bird were to be seen in the studio waiting for the
casual visitor to name his preference. The profile head
Saint-Gaudens modelled in relief from an unused bust
for the Sherman Victory, while the full length
Liberty he rendered from a scheme he had long had in
mind. It is most unfortunate that the Mint did not
19

notify the sculptor when they abandoned the thought
of a new design for the Cent, as thereon he wasted
precious hours; while the placing of the motto "In God
We Trust," on the gold coins by other hands than his,
will still further mar a composition which has already
suffered gready in the process of reproduction.
•JThe Caryatids, his final large commission, absorbed
him to a tremendous degree and marked his ultimate
tendency to draw away from the decorative in favor
of the monumental. As the building they were to
adorn is large and reposeful, the sculptor wished to
reflect these qualities. First he considered having
winged figures. Then he believed it might be well to
place garlands in their hands. Next he originated the
scheme wherein the four central Caryatids held lettered
tablets, those on the ends carrying palms. Finally he
decided to place palms in the hands of the ones on the
corners, while the middle figures should bear objects
which denoted Architecture, Painting, Sculpture and
Music.
CflThe relief which he made of Mrs. Saint-Gaudens
was the last work which he touched with his hands.
The compositionMiverted him gready as he could work
on it while seated. But his death came before he could
finish it.
^During the last few years Saint-Gaudens was ill for
much of the time, yet whenever pain left him for a few
hours, his courage and his hope returned and he con
stantly repeated to his friends that life became more
and more worth living as each day passed.

Note. The original picture was painted, on a smaller scale, in the sculptor's 36th
Street Studio, in 1887. It was destroyed in the fire in his studio in Comish,
N. H., in 1 904. This replica was painted in 1 908. The sculptor is represented
at work upon the relief portrait of William M. Chase. Behind his head, to the
left, is a solar print of one of the Vanderbilt caryatids. A caSt of the "Unknown
Lady" of the Louvre stands beyond. Next is the bronze relief of Homer Saint-
Gaudens as an infant, and beyond that the plafter relief of Miss Lee. The
scaffolding behind the easel is the back of the Shaw Memorial. [Signed]

A PHOTOGRAPH OF AUGUSTUS
SAINT-GAUDENS AT ABOUT
SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE
Lent by Miss Lucille A. Le Brethon.
Note. The following is a transcription of an explanatory letter addressed to
the Secretary of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial Exhibition by Miss Lucille A.
Le Brethon:
I am in receipt of your letter of the 1 7th, and delayed answering as I wished to
procure from my niece, Mrs. Arnold Moser, 2 1 4 East 1 5th Street, a topaz cameo,
the very first piece of work made by Augustus Saint-Gaudens under my father's
tuition. The onyx cameo which I am also sending you for exhibition is one of
the last things made by him while with my father, Jules Le Brethon. There can
be no doubt of the authenticity of these two cameos (which my father always
kept and prized very much), as the accompanying photograph shows him at
work in my father's studio. I am sending the two cameos and photograph under
separate cover by registered mail.
