Kaines-Smith, Keeper of City of Birmingham Musuem and Art Gallery, to Dr Henry Willingham Gell, on receipt of information about the portrait of Sir John Franklin Thanks for letter with full particulars on the Franklin portrait; confirming correction to slip for the catalogue will be made; he has seen the copy offered to Gell by Mr Phillips at Aston, and considers it simply a vey bad copy, certainly not an original by Phillips. Confirmation that it will be difficult to trace how the Birmingham Society got hold of the one they have , some records went stray at the re-constituion of the Society. 3 Feb 1932
