| Description | Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from Briton Riviere, Detmore, Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, agreeing to paint something for Macdonald, but saying that if it is painted for him he need not necessarily take it if it is not what he wants, he will probably have two or three small paintings by the end of the summer from which Macdonald can choose, sorry that he did not know earlier that Macdonald liked his picture 'Sympathy' or he could have had the study of that carefully finished, thanks for Macdonald's invitation but he will be resting at St. Andrews and must stay quiet, hopes that Macdonald enjoyed his visit to town, 30 May 1878 |
