Letter from William Carey to Dawson Turner, 19 Apr. 1821, written on printed copy of Carey’s ‘Lines addressed to Sir Thomas Lawrence’, Mar. 1821
O./13.21/No. 69 · Part · 19 Apr. 1821
Part of Manuscripts in Wren Class O

(The full title of the verses is ‘Lines respectfully addressed to Sir Thomas Lawrence, President of the Royal Academy, on seeing the Portrait of a Lady, in Suffolk’. Turner has added a note identifying the lady in question as ‘Mrs Fitzgerald, wife of Jno. Fitzgerald Esq., M.P. for Seaford’. This note was evidently written in or after 1826, the year of Fitzgerald’s election.)
