| Title | Draft of letter from John Philip Gell to Rickards, enclosing Miss Cracroft's reply |
| Date | 8 Mar 1892 |
| Description | Question of who sold the picture still unanswered, the correspondence of 1855 not providing any answer either; the erroneous statement of Lady Franklin purchasing it from someone was accepted; Mr Sellwood was never asked about withdrawing the protrait from probate, but he would have been led into the same error; it is important to shape the case before the picture is handed to the National Portrait Gallery |
