Scope and content

3 Burlington Gardens. - Writes to persuade Milnes to sit tomorrow; will 'feel greatly disappointed' if he does not, and 'suppose in some way you fancy me incapable of painting you'. May not be able to do it in the spring. Finished several other works yesterday, and had intended to begin Milnes' picture today and tommorow, according to Milnes' own arrangements. Adds postscript: 'Are you aware how many persons you have told that I am to do the said picture - this is not pleasant or fair towards me, nor can I like the awkward position it places me in.'
