Content Description

He went to see the picture of [Lady Euston and Lady Seymour], but is nervous of expressing his feelings to an artist as it is so easy to be wrong. However, it is a remarkable portrait and if he was rich enough he would buy it. He was very pleased to see the work of Mr. Daniell who was very kind and forgived the intrusion, he is a most engaging artist. He must also remember Humphry's Sir G. Beaumont, which is so like [the manner of] Sir Joshua Reynolds. He provides more observations on Humphry's portrait of the Waldegraves.
