Content Description

He would have come to Ugbrooke etc., but friends detain him, he thinks the neighbourhood of the Teign very "Romantick". He hopes to accompany Humphry to Mr. Bampfylde's or any other excursion he may plan, Richard Buller promised he would come too; he has great sympathy for Jackson [see HU/2/88], something similar has happened to him previously. He is glad that Humphry plans to paint the great families of Devon, as few works by Sir Joshua Reynolds ever found their way there.
