Label TextLawson provided the Academy with a progress report on his diploma portrait in a letter of April 13, 1910: "Glackens had only a few touches to do on the portrait but yesterday he got it in a bad state and he couldn't finish it. So I can't send it up today as I said. I'll send it as soon as it is done. I pose again tomorrow. I never knew [my] mug was so hard to get."
