Letter signed Gr. von Phul, St. Louis, to Maria von Phul, Lexington, Ky. Regarding pictures of Mr. DuBourg. The St. Peter at Col. Chouteau’s is by far the best. I see Mr. Jouett has finished your first portrait. Did you ever sit for the other? Praising advantages of St. Louis; your study of French – it cannot be done in three months. Do not neglect your drawing. (Gift of John Richardson Thomas and Henry von Phul Thomas, St. Louis, January 1954), [1819] Mar 15
