Copyright Luke C. Dillon, Photographer to Mount Vernon, Office at Pullman's Gallery, 935 Penn. Avenue, Washington, D. C. Typed note from Thomas M. Galey has been adhered to the reverse, 'Mt. Vernon Society: This photograph was made back in the 70's I believe. It may serve some sort of useful purpose in your spendid work.'
