Autograph letter signed : London, to Edmund Bates, 1879 Oct. 1.

Commenting on the possible identification of Blake in a portrait and indicating that according to Shields, "the man's portrait is Blake & no other"; thanking him for a photo [of a painting] that "cannot be by Botticelli" and seems "to have some strong affinities with the School of Jean de Mabuse"; recommending some lines of Henry Taylor's poetry as a motto for "The Hesterna Rosa" and describing the scene; discussing three works that he'd like to sell.

1 item (7 p.) ; 18.1 cm. + envelope.
