BRIEF SAYINGS OF EMINENT MEN.
SURGEON-GENERAL'S OFFICE, }
WASHINGTON CITY, _March 20, 1867_. }
Col. J. B. BACHELDER.
SIR:--The picture of "The Last Hours of Lincoln." painted by Alonzo
Chappel from your design, presents, with remarkable fidelity, the
portraits of those in attendance at various times during the night of
April 14, 1865, preserving truthfully the principal features of that
most sad event.
Very respectfully yours,
J. K. BARNES. _Surgeon-General, U.S.A., Brevet Major-General._
* * * * *
It is certainly a work of great interest and merit. I have looked upon
it with the liveliest satisfaction on account of its singularly graphic
delineation of the actual scene as myself beheld it, and also because
the likenesses of most of the distinguished persons presented by the
painting seem to me to be very accurate and striking.
P. D. GURLEY. _Pastor of the N. Y. Ave. Pres. Church_
* * * * *
I cheerfully bear testimony to the accuracy of the Portraits of the
persons present on that melancholy occasion, and especially that of the
martyred President.
W. T. OTTO. _Assistant Secretary of the Interior._
* * * * *
It gives me pleasure to testify to the accuracy with which you have
represented the principal features of the scene in question, and to the
fidelity of the portraits which you have introduced. You have been
especially successful in the likeness of President Lincoln.
JOHN HAY,
_Brevet Colonel, formerly A. D. C. to President Lincoln_.
* * * * *
The truthful likeness of President Lincoln, the fidelity of the
portraits of those present on that most mournful night, and the
excellent grouping of the figures, render this picture peculiarly
valuable in an historical point of view, apart from its merits as a work
of art.
