Summary
Forwarding a letter from Edwin R. Smetham [James Smetham's son?] in which he talks at length about his search for Blake's cottage in Felpham and sends a sketch he has done; asking her to identify "No. 110 in the Burlington Catalogue, viz. Portrait of Mr. Blake" as Blake or [Frederick] Tatham; commenting negatively on the perspective from which Blake's cottage has usually been painted.
