Letter, 1801 March 1, Philadelphia, [Pennsylvania], to [Thomas Jefferson], n.p.

Will make a copy of his portrait of Jefferson for thirty dollars; because of the difficulties presented by the front face, the fact that it is a copy will be obvious; was disappointed in the print made from this picture; had hopes that the second would be better but was still disappointed; the poor state of engraving as well as painting in this country is due to the want of encouragement.

2 p. on 1 leaf ; 24 cm. x 20 cm.
