R. E. Pine to the Pennsylvania Supreme Executive Council (unpublished)
Eighth Street near Market Street. 28th Novem’r, 1786.
Gentlemen,

The late honourable President was pleased to honour me, by obtaining permission from the honourable Council to make use of the unemploy’d assembly Room, since when the honourable assembly have concur’d in that indulgence.

I have now built an appartment sufficient for finishing the Pictures intended to represent the most Noble Scenes in the late Revolution, and allso, (as farr as in my power,) to transmit to Posterity a faithfull similitude of the distinguish’d Characters in those Heroic transacions. I therefore, with a grateful sense of the honour and Patronage afforded me, must ever remain, Gentlemen, your oblig’d and obedient humble servant,

R. E. Pine.
