The portrait Of Mr. Lincoln was

President Lincoln. This is the first
time the public has had an oppor-

Several museums and private COL
lectors have contributed to the eXhlbi-
ton. among them Miss Mitchell OF
New York whose grandfather was
a friend Of Lincoln's, will lend
hitherto unpublished letter written by
Lincoln to her grandfather shortly
after he became President. There Is
also a portrait of DR.. Charles A.
Leale. one of the physicians who at

True History Of
Healy Portrait.
The true history of the Healy por-
trait of Lincoln. which was the favorite
portrait of the late Robert Todd Lin
coin, son of the President, is perhaps
! revealed for the first time in letter
written by the late Mr.. Lincoln to the
late Mr.. w. D. Washburn, sometime
United States Senator from Minnesota.
There have been many stories relative
to the origin Of that particular por-
trait OF President Lincoln, but it
remained for his son to give its true
history in the letter to his friend, Mr..
Washburn.
He writes: "The history Of my pic
ture is this: In the Winter of l864-5
Gen. Grant was at City Point; Admi-
raj Porter was in command of the
naval flotilla on the James River, his
own flagship being generally not very
far from Gen. Grants headquarters;
and after Gen. Sherman had come
northward from Savannah it was
arranged that he should come by
water to City Point to have confer
ence with Gen. Grant in reference to

q beautiful house, surrounded by
spacious gardens, and is filled with
rare objets darts, books, pictures and
many historic pieces Of furniture.
The Healy portrait is large canvas,
6 by 4 feet, in a massive frome. It
shows the President seated in an arm
chair with his chain resting on his
right hand. The figure is more ami
mated than the portraits OF Lincoln
usually depict. The face is three
quarter, and while there is that look
of sadness and reflection in the eyes
which is noticeable in all his likenesses.

is alert and full of those indescribable
human characteristics which were q

service of the Quartermas ler's De-
partment as dispatch boat. There
was then a conference of these four
in the main cabin of the boat. There
was no artist present, and no photo

heard.
"A year or two afterWard Il cannot
tell exactly when). Mr.. Healy, being
in Chicago, conceived the idea Of
this meeting. When it was completed
he called it The Peacemakers,' and
he finally presented it TO his old
friend Mr. E. B. McCagg OF Chicago
! do not know when or where he made
the studies for the portraits OF Gen.
Grant, Gen Sherman or Admiral
Porter, but the study for that of my
father was made substantially in my
presence. Mr. Healy had, before the
war. painted portrait OF my father
without beard, but l do not think
he ever saw him afterWard. He made
new portrait from such material as
he had gathered. My fathers old
friend. Mr. Leonard SWEET, sat to him
as a model for the figure. and /, of
course, gave him all the help, by way
OF suggestion that could. The result
was an exceedingly good picture, all
the figures being life size. / may say
here that this large picture was later
loaned by Mr. McCagg to the Calumet
Club of Chicago, it being too large for
his own house, and, unfortunately, it
was destroyed at the burning OF the
club house in the Spring Of l893."

administration of Gen Grant, the
Congress made an appropriation for
