that the boy in thinking of them should say to
himself, "I am proud of my ancestors; let my life make them proud of
me."
But, in any case, is it not pleasant to think of the boy being brought
up by Eliza, and not by Hortense?
And so my portrait of Kings Port is finished. That the likeness is not
perfect, I am only too sensible. No painter that I have heard of ever
satisfies the whole family. But, should any of the St. Michaels see
this picture, I trust they may observe that if some of the touches are
faulty, true admiration and love of his subject animated the artist's
hand; and if Miss Josephine St. Michael should be pleased with any
of it, I could wish that she might indicate this by sending me a Lady
Baltimore; we have no cake here that approaches it.
