Summary:
Concerning a painting purchased by Mr. Neilson and Mr. J. Hornby; writing that Neilson and Hornby were so enthusiastic about the picture that he felt he had to sell it to them; suggesting another picture he has been working on as an alternative: "it is quite as good a subject if not better with more figures and animals"; discussing the size and the price of the proposed substitute; writing that he also has another buyer for the painting, so he hopes his correspondent can decide quickly whether or not he would like to take it.
