Typed copy of a portion of an autograph letter : Denmark Hill, to W.H. Harrison, [1861] Apr. 25.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270912095

Asking if he can dine at Denmark Hill to advise Mr. Smith Williams about a volume of extracts from Modern Painters. He did not ask for tickets for John's Royal Institution Lecture either for himself or Mr. Harrison. "John had changed his subject & bungled all & his man [Crawley] found his lecture as different from his ... Bradford & other lectures that he lost his night's sleep on it from vexation. My son in the contrary had one of the pleasantest dreams he ever had in his life--after it so is not hurt--but I am very sorry that drawing one of the largest audiences ever seen at R. Instn. he should have taken as little trouble to do well--" [this may be a reference to the lecture at which Effie & Lady Eastlake sat in the front row laughing until he broke down].
