Charles M. Shean tells Theodore Roosevelt he has painting a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, who during his lifetime did not have a portrait painted that is “considered thoroughly satisfactory by those who knew the President.” Shean tells Roosevelt he is welcome to come view his portrait, but he knows Roosevelt is very busy so he also offers to send the portrait directly to his office.
