Speaking of the bust, Joseph Leete said, 'This portrait bust, executed with such fidelity to nature and with such artistic power, will not be valued simply as a work of art, but its value will be enhanced in my eye and in that of my family by the fact that it was given to me as a mark of affectionate regard by all those who, by their having been daily occupied by my side for a large portion of their lives, have the best reason to appreciate such qualities as I possess'.
