Content Description
White's letter to him has been delivered through
Lord Clarendon. He and
Mr. Bone are both well satisfied that the portrait is accepted. The delay in sending was occasioned by the desrire to show it to the
Earl and
Lady Camden, also to the
Duchess of Dorset &
Lord Whitworth; all to promote the skills of Mr. Bone.
The
Duke of Bedford's statue is now in Russell Square, to admirable effect. He would like an etching of
Jackson's portrait by
Gainsborough. Drury Lane Theatre advances rapidly and he hopes to secure a plan of it to be sent to Devonshire.
