- Scope and Content:
- "I'm so sorry -- but not even the Alpine rose drawing will be available just now for we want all we can get on the walls to replace the Turners which are to be shut up during great exhibition [the South Kensington International Exhibition] to avoid bore of various sorts -- and I can't part with any of my late sketches, which are all unfinished and good for nothing. I'm to talk nowhere -- and can talk about nothing -- but I'll try and answer any questions you have for me before I leave town -- love to Mr Richmond -- delighted to see him tomorrow." [Date provided by Surtees: Probably end of April 1862]
