Discusses Gilbert Stuart's portrait of Commodore James Lawrence, and informs that it would probably be worth $300 or more. Mentions some institutions that may be interested in acquiring it, like The Academy of Fine Arts, Congress, the City Council of New York, or the Academy of National Design. Wonders if communicating the painting's availability in a Washington D.C. newspaper would be helpful.
