Content Description

He urges Farington to stay silent about his role in obtaining the casts and cartoon [for the Royal Academy], all credit must come from the Prince, if word got out that Lawrence was taking credit it would do great damage; neither Mr West nor Sir William "lost their time at Carlton House in exclusive attention to inanimate objects".
