Letter to James Westhall Ford (1804-1868), portrait painter. Ford worked out of Richmond for most of the years between 1825 and 1859. He occasionally traveled through the Shenandoah Valley painting portraits along the way. Newspaper clippings refer to stops in Haymarket, Mantua, Staunton, and other towns. Correspondence and newspaper clippings place him in Pittsylvania County, Virginia in 1858, and in Danville in 1859. As the Civil War approached, Ford's sympathies led him to Philadelphia where he lived until his death in 1868.
