Content Description

Wright will be obliged if Thomson will inform Mr Martin that his picture of the earth stopper is to be delivered to Lord Hardwicke without the frame: the shabby price his lordship is to pay for the work leaves no room for him to expect the frame with it. However, should his lordship say anything about it, he is to be informed that the frame the work was exhibited in was an old Italian moulding, which Wright had had by him for many years and kept for the use of the exhibition; "and on no account let him have it."
