Letter from E.J. Rickard to John Philip Gell, acknowledging receipt of letter enclosing letters of Mrs Jupp and William Kaye Clear that no-one had heard of Sir John selling or giving away the portrait; there is a strong presumption it was not among Sir John's effects when the will was proved; mystery still surrounds it; could it have been sold fraudulently of by mistake afetr being sent for cleaning. Miss Cracroft's last letter suggests she is in a psoition to explain matters. 19 Feb 1892
