I have so seldom of late reminded
You of my existence either in person or by
letter, that I trust you will allow me
to request a few moments of your time
to say a kind word to the bearer of this
M.r Austin, a young Artist of this place
who excels in his department of Landscape,
& who is desirous of paying his respects
to you on his intended visit to London

works of art intrusted to your care
within the walls of the Royal Academy,
amongst which, I hope you will have
the goodness to favour him with a

great pleasure to hear of you at times
by my Sons, & more particularly of late
by my Daughter Mary Anne, on
whose behalf our best acknowledgements
are due. I assure you it affords me
great pleasure satisfaction to find that the friendship
which has for so great a portion of

attachment add the individual sense
of your constant kindness to them
which I am sure they are desirous
of returning to the utmost of their
power. With invariable attachment
believe me My Dear Friend
ever faithfully Yours
