A handwritten letter from James Bertram to Samuel Harden Church concerning a portrait of Andrew Carnegie painted by Anders Zorn. Bertram explains that Mrs. Carnegie is disappointed with the painting and a ""lady caller"" made an unflattering remark about how Carnegie looks in the portrait. Mr. Bertram asks Mr. Church if his wife would like a portrait of Church that ""represented to the world in his home town as the bibulous personage which the painter has put on that canvas?"" The letter then includes ""kind regards"" to him and Mrs. Bertha Jean Church. A P.S. is included with the note: ""Enclosed order for your use.""
