| Description | Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from James Nasmyth, Hammerfield, Penshurst, Kent, hoping that he has interpreted the instructions correctly for the portrait of Nasmyth's father, he has taken it from a sketch done by Nicholson in 1820 when he was 62, he will be gratified if it fits in with Macdonald's other portraits, he is sending it by parcel post 'in a light home made case', it might still be a little tacky, signed with signature and thumbprint, 30 June 1884 |
