Letter from E.J. Rickards to Reverend John Philip Gell, stating that the claim to the Phillips portrait would not seem to hold given the current state of knowledge Confirmation from Rickards that no useful information was found in his father's papers regarding the Phillip's portrait. Cannot see what claim Gell's son would have on the painting, as being the "Heir Male" would not confer legal title to a picture or any other personal property 18 Dec 1891
