Portrait of James Buchanan Henry in oval frame. Elaborate oval frame with light colored dry brushing. Henry faces the viewer; has long mustache, side parted light brown hair, blue eyes. Family history indicates that this was a self portrait by Henry, whose art career was discouraged by his uncle James Buchanan (the 15th US President).
Letter from J. B. Henry to H. B. Swarr enclosing copies of the President’s Kansas message to be distributed to prominent Democrats, with more to follow, wishing that Col.
