I daresay if I was to ask Reynolds' son he has one - do let me get the things out of your hands somehow - I do'nt care whether I like them or not [.] I have long ceased to care anything about that Yes J.C. - --- *Shirley's footnote for this reads: 'The famous painting formerly at Bowood and now in the Widener Collection, Philadelphia.
