SUGGESTED DRAFT
Dear Dillon:
Regarding the presentation of the Trumbull miniature of Thomas
Jefferson to Mrs. Ford on behalf of the Italian people as their
Bicentennial gift to the people of the United States, we are very
sympathic to your suggestion that the National Portrait Gallery be
designated as the permanent home of this portrait. We are well aware
of the importance of the National Portrait Gallery's growing collection.
Mr. Clement E. Conger, the Curator of the White House, and Dr.
Marvin Sadik, the Director of the National Portrait Gallery, have
a long history of helpful association in sharing by loan some of the
national treasures in each institution.
It so happens that the Curator of the White House was also aware
of this important miniature of Thomas Jefferson by John Trumbull and he
too for a long period of time had been in correspondence with the
Apostolic Delegate in Washington, Instituto "Maria SS. Bambina," Lodi,
Italy, and with the American Ambassador at Rome, to secure by
purchase if necessary this miniature for the permanent collection of
the White House. We are confident as a result of these interests as well
as the interest of the National Gallery of Art for the "Eye of Jefferson"
exhibition, the Italian government made the decision to acquire the
portrait from the convent at Lodi to present to the American people.
BERALD FORD
In the past, many gifts presented by foreign Chiefs of
State to the American people have been placed in the permanent
collection of the White House. Many more have gone to the
Smithsonian Institution and its component museums. This is one
of the few Bicentennial gifts from a foreign country which has been
desired for the permanent collection of the White House. It may
interest you to know that at the present time, President Ford has
the miniature in a place of honor on his desk in the Oval Office.
The miniature will be accessioned as part of the permanent collection
of the White House. However, inasmuch as it was a gift to the
people of the United States, the White House has every intention
in the future of lending the miniature to important national exhibitions
and would be very pleased to give first preference in lending the
portrait to the National Portrait Gallery whenever it is not shown
in the White House or at special exhibitions.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely yours,
HEALTH FORD VERIFY

Dear Mr. Brown:
Thank you very much for your letter of September 13 in which
you suggest that the miniature portrait of Thomas Jefferson by
John Trumbull which has recently been given to Mrs. Ford for
the American people should find a final home at the National
Portrait Gallery.
The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution has written to
the President on this same subject. The substance of your informative
letter is closely related to his letter. Therefore, I take pleasure
in sending you herewith a copy of the reply which the President
has sent to Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, Secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, on this subject.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. President:
I was delighted to learn that Signora Leone earlier this week
presented the John Trumbull miniature of Thomas Jefferson to
Mrs. Ford on behalf of the Italian people as their Bicentennial gift
to the people of the United States. I am writing to urge most
respectfully that the National Portrait Gallery be designated as the
permanent home of this important portrait.
As you know, the National Portrait Gallery was established in
the Smithsonian Institution by Act of Congress in 1962, to "function
as a free public museum for the exhibition and study of portraiture
and statuary depicting men and women who have made significant
contributions to the history, development, and culture of the people
of the United States
11
In the brief period since its
establishment, the National Portrait Gallery has managed to acquire
life portraits of an impressive number of distinguished Americans,
has mounted a succession of brilliant historical exhibitions, has
published a number of superb catalogues, and has become a major
source of enlightenment and inspiration for millions of Americans
visiting their nation's capital. Like all the museums of the
Smithsonian, in a very real sense it belongs to the people of the
United States and serves them.
Unfortunately, in the fourteen years of its existence the National
Portrait Gallery has been unable to acquire a suitable life portrait
of our third President. Despite the most strenuous efforts of the
kind that have succeeded brilliantly in other cases, this goal has
eluded us. About two years ago the Director of the National Portrait
Gallery, Marvin Sadik, began making inquiries about the possible

availability of the Trumbull miniature, corresponding both with
officials of the Roman Catholic Church and with Ambassador Gaja.
Upon learning a few weeks ago that it was the intention of the
Italian Government to present the portrait as a Bicentennial gift,
he of course suspended his efforts to acquire it directly for the
National Portrait Gallery.
Quite simply, Mr. President, there is no figure in the history
of our nation whose portrait is more sorely needed by the National
Portrait Gallery than that of Thomas Jefferson. A decision to give
the portrait to the National Portrait Gallery would be deeply
appreciated not only by the Smithsonian Institution and the Gallery
but, I am sure, by future generations of Americans who would see
it there among the portraits of all our Presidents.
With best wishes and warm regards, I am,

I have been advised by Clem Conger that as Curator of
the White House he has long been making efforts to
obtain this miniature for the permanent collection of

that his show of interest in acquiring the work for the

to important national exhibitions just as other items
in the White House collection have been made available,
and a request of the National Portrait Gallery for a

Dear Mr. President:
Mr. S. Dillon Ripley, the distinguished
Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, has just told
me that Mrs. Ford has been presented with the famous
miniature of President Thomas Jefferson by John Trumbull.
This is, of course, good news that this delineation of
our third President will finally be in this country.
Nevertheless, it does seem to me that such an important
document, as well as work of art, should find a final
home at the National Portrait Gallery, together with
the portraits of the other Presidents and many other
distinguished Americans.
I shall not lengthen this letter by outlining
the many distinguished achievements of the National
Portrait Gallery under the able directorship of Dr. Marvin
Sadik. His exhibitions have been outstanding. We have
been able, despite the lateness of time, to assemble a
truly remarkable basic collection; yet we have never been
able to acquire a life portrait of Thomas Jefferson.
I respectfully submit that this Trumbull miniature should
find a final permanent home in the nation's National
Portrait Gallery.
Very respectfully yours,
