Several years after Ballen had painted Uncle John's portrait for West Point, many contemporaries claimed was not a good likeness. Ballen then spent some time at West Point and after examining many photographs and having a new sketch of the features of head submitted to our family and approved by them as well as by many contemporaries of Uncle John, he made this master sketch and changed the portrait to conform to it. Uncle R. bought it from him.
