Ellen, 30 January 1882: ". . . There is no absolutely satisfactory likeness of [my Father] unless it be Mr. [Daniel Chester] French's bust, but the photographs of him that the family like best, and the only ones he likes at all himself [are] the one taken by J[osiah] J. Hawes . . . in 1854, and the cabinet-sized photograph by [Eliphalet Jay] Foss, 1873 . . . . Those by [George Kendall] Warren we particularly dislike."
