Summary
Concerning a request for a portrait of his father; saying "I should be very glad indeed to furnish you with every facility towards placing a Portrait of Lord Gough in your National work with an accurate Genealogical Memoir, but there is not in England at this moment any portrait of him that I consider, at all does him justice - indeed by far the best is one drawn by a Chinese Artist - But as he will, I trust, be returning to England at no long distance in time, I intend at once to have a really good painting taken to the use of which and of any further assistance I can afford, you will be most welcome.
