Autograph letter signed : London, to [Samuel] Laurence, 1848 June 19.

Confirming that their mutual acquaintance, Joseph Geldart, would be welcome to accompany Laurence on a visit to the Carlyle's, and asking why Thornton Hunt does not come to visit ("He is well liked here; his last appearance was decidedly successful, as we remember it."); noting that he received two prints [of his portrait after a Daguerreotype] from [James Henry] Lynch ("Lynch has sent me the two Prints; no mortal knows of the existence of his Print here, or he might sell a good many;--but perhaps it is better so, for the thing is dreadfully ugly, after all!").
