| Description | Letter dated 14 May 1869 to Macdonald from J.C. Horsley, Willesley, Staplehurst, explaining that he does not destroy unanswered mail, but apologising for not replying sooner, agreeing that the price of the picture he sent to Macdonald was high, but sure that if Macdonald had kept it longer he would have realised how much work had gone into it, hopes of painting something closer to Macdonald's budget over the summer. |
