Content Description

Mr. Singleton will be shortly finished with his other tasks and could begin on the cabinet of portraits. Singleton is currently visiting family in Ipswich, one of whom is very rich and who often employs him. She is neither young nor healthy and he quietly hopes to be at some point financially free of professional labour. Simgleton lives in strict frugality, or Humphry could not afford to employ him. It is necessary that his Lordship and the Duchess of Dorset come to some definite resolution and he will show them examples of Singleton's work.
