Summary
Declining to pay for a portrait found among George Romney's effects; saying "The Pictures, or Portraits you mention that are found among your Fathers supposed to be of my ordering, I can assure you I recollect nothing of - except the one that was begun for Miss Pitt but as that never was finished owing to Mr. Romney, I must decline taking it away - having already Paid one Hundred & Thirty Pounds for one Portrait of myself I can not think I am anyways indebted to Mr. Romney's family."
