Content Description

He has completed his large picture for Prince Borghese, will now study from nature in the countryside, before returning to continue on Harvey's picture. He has failed to buy works by the old masters and so suggests that copies be made for Harvey's use in his painting. He congratulates Harvey on securing a work by Claude Lorrain, he will endeavour to make a companion for it.

He waits to hear from Mr. Wright about his exhibition.
