He had many other photographs taken but always considered this the best. There is no portrait of him. This carbon enlargement from the original cabinet was made by Merrill of Salem. The rosette in the buttonhole is the badge of the Royal Hawaiian Order of Kamehamaha the Great. Labeled by me in 1911. Stephen W. Phillips." (handwritten)
