Excerpt from The History of a Rare Washington Print: A Paper Read Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, May 6, 1889The Council of this State being desirous of having his picture, a full length, requested his sitting for that purpose, which he politely complied with, and a striking likeness was taken by Mr. Peale, of Philadelphia. The portrait is to be placed in the Council Chamber. Don Juan Marailles has ordered five copies, four of which, we hear, are to be sent abroad.l His Excellency's stay was rendered the more agreeable by the company of his lady, and the domestic retirement which he enjoyed at the house of the Honorable Henry Laurens, Esquire, with whom he resided.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
