- Scope and Content:
- This long letter concerns a matter of artistic similarity. Cole has informed Bell that Redgrave and Cole have discovered a "child of [his] among the art union sculpture (in Imogen)." [Meaning a work similar to his own.] Bell writes that he "trust[s] [Redgrave] will think so and not that I kidnapped her as 'we see where she comes from'?" Bell asks Redgrave for time to consult the engraving to see "how little likeness exists" and ultimately hopes that Redgrave will be forgiving "especially as you know what thieves we all are."
