FLIGHT OF FANCY
10 February 1830
Dearest Lucy,
When I think about your advocacy of this wild man who sails from one continent to another in pursuit of his ambition I am filled with love.
The English engravers are tirelessly rendering my dream into reality. I marvel at nature when dawn presents her in richest, purest array and hope my humble paintings shall be my legacy for our two sons.
I could not do better than to travel and finish my collection of the ‘Birds of America.’
Across the ocean, ma chérie Mrs. Audubon, your devotion sustains me.
Affectionately yours,
John
