—The little head in oil, with hat (of Elias Hicks) sent me from Richmond Indiana painted by Sidney Morse—As I understand it is from a photo, or daguerreotype of Elias, from life, taken about 1828 or '29 there.

Morse's letter Richmond Indiana

..."a little sketch in oil (on a box cover) from an old photo of a steel engraving brought me by a Mr. Harris who heard Elias preach when he was 10 years old. He says my copy [this picture] is quite as good as the original. I don't think so myself; but it approximates."
