Wayne to Bushrod Washington, Nov. 3, 1803, Dreer MSS. loc. cit.
It would seem from this letter that Marshall and Washington had reduced their lump cash price from $100,000 to $70,000. In stating his expenses, Wayne says that the painter "Gilbert Stuart demanded a handsome sum for the privilege of Engraving from his Original" portrait of Washington.
