H. McConnel, Cressbrook, Sheffield, to E.F. White

1 piece

He called on White in London, holding F. Watts's certification that the picture offered as a geniune Constable was in fact painted by him, twenty years before. Other dealers have examined it, pronounced it specious and would be willing to do so again in a court of law. They should both regret the publicity that has resulted from this business. He sends the picture back to White and thnks that next time he might not place so much faith in Mr. Farrer's opinion on modern paintings.
