DISTINGUISHED Sons OF H ARFoRD.-A short
time ago we mentioned the fact that Mr.. Ed
ward NJ. Allen was engaged in an effort to Sc
cure portraits in oil of some of the most distin-
guished citizens OF Hartford and place them on
the walls of our Court House, in order to per-
petuate their memories and serve as a stimulus
to the youth of Hartford for generations to come
to emulate their virtues and their fame. Among
the portraits promised to Mr.. Allen was one of
Mr.. Edwin Booth, who was born in Hartford
county, near Bel Air.
Mr.. Allen has received the following letter
from Mr.. Booth:
MOUNT VERNON HOTEL,
Baltimore, Nov. Gth 1890. !
II. III. AHen, Esq:
DAER SIR: The portrait of myself which. at your
request have had painted for the Hartford
Court House," is nearly finished. Will you kindly
inform me by what address it must be sent.
EDWIN BOOTH.
Mr.. Allen sent the following in reply:
Ed1cin Booth, Esq. Baltimore. Maryland:
My DEAR SIR: Yours of the 9th instant, stating
that your portrait, designed for the Court House
of Hartford county, is about ready for shipment,
and asking to whom it shall be sent, is at hand.
Please have it sent to Judge James ID. Waters.
as the chief ,ofcial in the county having control
of the Court House. In company with those OF
Harford's distinguished sons, men great on land
your picture will be a source of pride to many
generations of Harford's future sons.
In behalf of her people, sincerely thank you
for this generous and gratifying gift,
Very truly, yours, L. M. ALLEN.
The portrait above referrad to, painted by Mr..
Louis P. Dietericb, and presented By Booth to
the people of Hartford county, is said to be an
admirable likeness Of the great tragedian. To
Booths "wonderful eyes"-those windows of
a soul charged with powerful and evel-changing
emotions-no representation could do justice;
but the artist has been happy in catching one
of the great actors best expressions. The por-
trait is life sizs bust. 1t will be exhibition
on Baltimore street for two or three day., after
which it will be hung in the Court House at Bel
Air where Mr.. Booth, in company with John
Sleeper Clark, made his first appearance upon
the stage.
The people of Hartford Booths native county,
are not only indebted to their distinguished son
for this valued gift, but to Mr.. E. M. Allen at
whose request it was made.
