Peale writes to say he is glad Dean is pleased with the portrait of George Washington he painted (see GLC 9199.01) and states he took great pains to make it an exact copy of the original. He comments, "Your Picture will survive me, and as my mortal remains will perish, my work will live & increase in value - especially in the estimation of those who entertain a just Veneration for the great Original, whose equal among men has not been found."
