Excerpt from Judge Jay's Portrait at White Plains: Correspondence in Reference to Its Original Acceptance by the County of Westchester, and the Recent Attempt to Remove It From the Court HouseIt seems that a Resolution was introduced before the Board of Supervisors of Westchester County, at its late session, having for its Object the removal from the Court Room of the County, Of the Portrait of the late Hon. William Jay - a Resolution which we believe to have been condemned by the citizens Of the County, and which proved too distasteful to the Board to pass.We would be glad to learn what are the facts and circumstances under which the Portrait was received and placed in its present position, and presuming that they are fully known by you, we would be obliged by any information on the subject which you will furnish to us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
