Content Description

Expressing pleasure at the approval given to his paintings in Newcastle, and thanking Parker for his exertions in selling his works. He asks Parker to forward 'The Upas Tree' to Carlisle, and to deliver 'Olden Times in England' to John Baird of Newcastle. Danby is surprised that these works had found buyers, because both were "large and dark and therefore badly calculated for the generality of Houses".
