Summary
Writing that he is happy with Hardwick's "kind expressions about the portrait", adding that he "had great pleasure in painting it" and that he is "grateful to Mrs. Hardwick for all her kindness"; quoting him a fee of 500 guineas for the painting, asking Hardwick to let him know where he wishes to hang it, and suggesting that if he would like to select a place in the dining room, he could have someone hang it very soon.
