lot of 5. Includes Bierstadt, Albert (1830-1902), Hudson River School painter known for Western scenes. ANS, 4pp, 4.5 x 7", New York, March 12, 1889. Addressed to Mrs. Harrison just after the move to the White House. In this note Bierstadt tells Mrs. Harrison that he has taken the liberty of ordering beef tea, in part because there was little to be found in the White House (not stocked yet) and in part because the Harrisons had to stand in some inclement weather to "...view the passing regiments," clearly a reference to the inaugural parade. He continues: The President will doubtless recognise some reminders of our visit to the Yellowstone Park in the upper hall of the house. This suggests that in addition to Bierstadt paintings in over 4 dozen museums, the White House has a few of its own. He finishes with a "plug" for Sidney Everett to be assigned a position in the State Department.
