| Description | Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from W.Q. Orchardson, Westgate, Thanet, Kent, thanking for his note, and agreeing to paint the requested portrait, 'Nature is full of fine subjects, and the finest of these is a fine woman', prices, which might be guided by the appearance of the woman in question, delighted that Macdonald is coming to the Royal Academy banquet, but cannot tell who might have recommended the invitation as Macdonald has too many friends, 12 April 1881 |
