| Description | Letter to Hope Macdonald from Stanhope A. Forbes, Cliff Castle, Paul, Penzance, Cornwall, apologising for the delay in producing a self-portrait, explaining that he had done one, but 'my friends all resented it so vigourously [sic], while it so palpably affored intense gratification to my enemies' that he chose not to send it and has not yet had time to replace it, his picture, however, is almost finished and he hopes to be able to show it to her in London, 26 March 1891 |
