Summary
Replying to his letter; saying he knows "of no likeness of any kind of Bishop Madison in existence. There is a portrait of Bp. Meade in the Library of our Theological Seminary near Alexandria which has been engraved & I expect Entwisle & Co., Booksellers, Alexandria, can supply you with a copy of the engraving. I have not an autograph letter or document of any one of our deceased Bishops."
