Content Description
He has been busy finishing two full length [portraits] and a landscape for the exhibition, slight dabs for the eyes of a million. He wishes Jackson would live nearer Bath regarding, as he does, his honesty, plainness and openess of soul. He is sorry to have received the harp back, making reference to Jacksons fondness for pretty young women. Regards to Mr. Tremlet.
