Content Description

He is writing from the Isle of Wight where he is staying with Mr. Holmes, heir to Lord Holmes, to paint some portraits; he is being kindly treated and is charging 6gs a head, not 5; when he has finished his current commissions he will return to Plymouth; he appreciates Samuel's long letters more than ever; his time in London was the happiest of his life.
