| Description | Sir,
I have been favor'd by Miss Dumergue with a sight of your portrait in a most excellent print, which I understand is about to be publish'd; but I omitted to enquire who was the artist and whether or not the plate was his property, so that I cou'd by any means procure a good copy to be in my possession and remind my children of their father's best friend.
If you wou'd have the goodness to put me in a way to procure a good copy, it wou'd greatly add to the many obligations already felt by, sir, your obliged and devoted humble servant,
R. Chippindall
