Letter from Dante Rossetti, London, to Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, 1873 June 20 : autograph manuscript signed.

Writing to share that a landscape painter has died; sharing that though this painter was never prosperous, he leaves behind a wife and children; sharing that effects are being made in London and Liverpool to establish a subscription for his family, and noting that considerable progress has been made; asking Barbara if she would be willing to donate a piece that could be raffled off; sharing that he himself will donate a drawing; sharing that prospectuses will be sent to her in a day or two; sharing the address of Mr. Smith, who is collecting contributed works; sharing that he is steadily at work and getting through a good deal; emphasizing the lovely scenery.
