Description	Herman Lieber, owner of H. Lieber and Company a firm specializing in picture frames and framing, helped arrange patrons to subsidize Steele's and other artists' studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Munich. In this draft letter to Lieber, T.C. Steele reports that he has not received all of the money that he was owed by his subscription patrons to meet with his expenses while studying in Germany. Steele voiced his concern that he would not get to stay in Munich and study painting the second year of his instruction, as the first year was focused solely on drawing. In the letter, Steele also discusses his daily routine, drawing from life 6-8 hours a day in charcoal, pencil, crayon, and pen and ink.
