7 Vernon in the year 1772. Washington was then a colonel in the Alexandria militia, and the picture in the Mount Vernon collection represents him in the English uniform, Blue and Red. I am under the impression that your picture was the tirst study for the large picture now at Arlington, which was finished at Mount Vernon, and that my father subsequently (during the war for Independence) changed the dress to the Continental costume, notwithstanding that in our catalogues of the Museum Gallery th...is portrait has always been called " Col. G. Washington." ' " This is the picture before us, and I now have the pleas- ure of reading a letter from Mr. Ogden in reference to it, which will not only explain itself, but furnish a source of much gratification to the members of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania: " ' Colonnade Hotel, February 22, 1892.
" ' Mr. Frederick D. Stone, " ' Librarian Historical Society of Penna. : " ' Dear Sir, — I send for presentation to the Historical Society my portrait in oil of Washington, painted by Charles Willson Peale at Mount Vernon in the year 1772, the first portrait that was made of Washington, it being the original study for which the three-quarter length was made, known as the " Arlington picture." " ' Also a letter from Rembrandt Peale, a son of the artist, relative to the authenticity of the portrait.
