Title	Copy of letter by John Philip Gell to cousin Sophia Cracroft, on claim for the portrait to go to his son Philip as Sir John's male representative
Date	12 Dec 1891
Description	Doubtless she knows of his makinga claim on the portrait in the present Victoria exhibition at the New Gallery; although Gell claims Franklin's portrait for his son, Philip, the latter will inherit a good series of family portraits, so he does not want to remove the picture from her dutiful care, if she wants to hang it on her walls.
