DEAR SIRS:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

CLERK'S OFFICE,

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23d, 1868.

The portrait of Mr. Colfax, engraved for your edition of his Life, has been framed and hung up in the Clerk's office, where many Members have seen it. All concur in saying it is the best likeness of him they have ever seen, and I agree with them in regarding it as strikingly life-like.

Respectfully yours,

EDW'D MCPHERSON, Clerk of the House of Representatives.

In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, in and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

TO

MRS. GEORGE W. MATTHEWS,

THE MOTHER OF

HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX,

WHOSE TRUST IN HIM AS A MAN HAS ONLY BEEN EQUALLED BY HER AFFECTION FOR HIM AS A SON,
