Letter from William A. Coffin to Theodore Roosevelt
William A. Coffin wishes to reinforce John La Farge’s request to loan John Singer Sargent’s portrait of President Roosevelt for an exhibition by the Society of American Artists. The Society will need the painting delivered by the end of next week and will cover insurance for the portrait up to a valuation of $2,500. In addition, he guarantees the “place of honor” for the portrait at the exhibition.
