Solomon Gibson informs his brother of the death of their mother. The rest of the letter relates to the statue of
[William] Huskisson, and the commission for the monument to
[William] Roscoe, which Gibson says was likely to go to
[Francis] Chantrey. Gibson criticises the committees responsible for both works. He concludes by mentioning their brother, [
Benjamin Gibson], who was talking of going to Rome. Gibson thinks that he should stay in England and finish such orders as he had.
