Summary
Sending him a list of the portraits he has completed; discussing the untimely death of Princess Charlotte; saying that he had "other reasons in conjunction with many others to deplore her untimely & melancholy fate, she gave me to understand she had something in view for the exercise of my pencil, which was to have been communicated when Lord Breadalbanes collection was compleated & laid before her;" reiterating his belief that the additional portraits of the Brunswick family would make a good addition to the Stuart portraits for Lord Breadalbane and asking him to speak to Lord Breadalbane on his behalf.
