Description

“I will send you the photographs…to enable the artist to get a more correct likeness in the group at the Inauguration”

ALS signed “R. B. Hayes,” one page, 5.5 x 8.25, June 14, 1886. Letter to George Keller. In part: “If not too late I will send you the photographs—Cabinet size—to enable the artist to get a more correct likeness in the group at the Inauguration. The figure is so unnatural and undignified in posture that if it can not be decidedly changed I will rely on you to see that it is left out altogether.” In fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
