In the letter, Ezra provides a copy of a letter from Judge Livermore, which states he was unable to see the painting made of their father, Josiah Bartlett, and was unable to convince Trumbull to let him bring the painting to Ezra and his brothers for viewing before they purchased it. Ezra notes he is unwilling to pay for a painting he has not seen and $100 for the painting anyway. He inquires to his brothers what they feel should be done.
