| Description | Left a message yesterday with the young man in Barnes’s counting-house that M. R. Boulton wishes to have the painting in the library finished quickly, i.e. the pair of new doors (already primed) and the bookcase opposite the windows (to be made lighter to correspond with the shutters). Sends 8 pasteboards, for shades, to be coloured as the former ones, but in oil, not water. Desires to have the tins for catching lamp smoke, if they are ready. |
