ALS, one page, 5.25 x 8.5, December 12, 1892. Letter to US Senator John Sherman. In full: “It will give me great pleasure to furnish you with such photos as I have. I send two of the cabinet size. The one of ‘age 70’ is enlarged to the size you want, and is thought well of. I can have the one ‘age 63’ done the same way if preferred. I can also have one age 65. As to the period of the Presidency I have none of suitable size. But the boys suggest that I have the oil painting in the White House photographed. In any event I will send you several of the size you want to choose from. It will gratify me to have one on your walls.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and a small translucent corner tab affixed to center of the letter, obscuring just part of one word of text. Sherman served as Hayes’s Secretary of the Treasury during his entire administration, and obviously held him in high regard, as suggested by Hayes sending several photos.
