To Rembrandt Peale
Washington March 18th 1824
Sir
I have examined with attention & pleasure the portrait you have drawn of Genl Washington, and I feel no hesitation in pronouncing it, according to my best Judgement, the most exact representation of the original that I have ever seen. The features, as well as the character of his Countenance, are happily depicted. I am sir very respectfully yr mo. ob. Servt
