Content Description

Thanks Humphry for the present of Mr. Bone's enamel portrait of Humphry, after the oil by [John] Hoppner and seeks to make arrangements for its safe arrival. He is pleased at the positive words relating to Humphry's India business. He has been reading Barry's Works, and Shee's Elements of Art. This has made him recollect visiting Barry's "habitation" in Castle Street with Humphry.
