Additional Details

In full: "I have a very excellent picture of President Harrison, but it is too small for the size of the U.S. Legation at this place. I want our American sea captains to see a good picture of our President. Could you cause one to be sent to me. I would be much obliged to you. My fervent best wishes of the season."
