Content Description

He cannot come on Sunday but will accept the "memorandums"; he wishes Lawrence could see his Rubens in its present light; Lawrence should soon receive the Poussin, he hopes it will ignite in him "what Sir Joshua called heroic landscape", he contrasts this with the current confusion of the "deceptive landscape" of the scene painting and the panorama.
