The portrait of the Chief Justice, frontispiece of the present volume, is made after a photograph of an original painting by R M. Sully. The history of this portrait is thus stated by the present owner, Judge John Barton Payne of Chicago, is a letter to the Editor Chief Justice Marshal1 was a member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-50. While in Richmond attending the Convention a committee of that body engaged R. M. Sully to paint his portrait, the plan being to present the portrait to the Convention and through it to the State of Virginia. The portrait was not finished when the Convention adjourned and it remained the property of the artist, and it, together with a portrait of the elder Booth, descended to Mrs Cole, wife of the Rector of the Episcopal Church at Culpeper Court House, Virginia After the assassination of President Lincoln the Federal troops slashed the Booth portrait with their sabres and destroyed it. The Marshal1 portrait was undisturbed and remained in the Cole family at Culpeper until 1891, when it was acquired by me through T. Willoughby Cole of that family, now a resident of Chicago. Conway Robinson, of Virginia, who knew Chief Justice Marshal1 personally, pronounced this portrait the best likeness of Marshal1 known. The Sully portrait was exhibited at the Worlds Fair, Chicago, in 1893 at the Atlanta Exposition, and at , the Art Institute in Chicago. It has been photographed but once so far as I am advised and the negative is still in my possession. RICHMON H D O ME - - yace page 427 The home of Marshal1 in Richmond, Virginia, at the corner of Marshal1 and Ninth streets, was built by the Chief Justice in 1797-98, while he was Envoy to France. Concerning this residence, Mr. Thomas Marshall Smith, a great-grandson of Marshall, writes to the Editor as follows The Chief Justice resided here until his death, except when duties of office called him to Washington. Theownership has remained in the family for almost a century, although the dwelling has had other tenants It is now occupied by his granddaughters, the Misses Harvie, whoown it. Mr. Smith says that the picture of the house here reproduced is excellent. JOHN MARSHALL MEMORIAL. STATE OF MARYLAND...
