Note
Concerns a pastel portrait of Alexander Hamilton by James Sharples owned by the French Foreign Minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, which she has asked be returned to her.
Cazenove writes: "The picture being painted in pastel, time and crossing the sea has degraded it, still the likeness remain; & at the view of it, your tender and afflicted heart will bleed to much I fear…. I reflect that tears are now calling to give little rest to the wife of a man whose genius and firmness has created the greatest part of the United States's prosperity and whose amiable qualities, great sense and instruction have been a treasure to his private friends ..."
