The portrait has unaccountably disappeard. No dout it has been mislaid and will eventually turn up. Can you recollect whether the portrait was framed or not; also about the size of it! I remember distinctly The Baperor's face and figure. In the picture he had on a huztar uniform, 1 think, with epaulets, medals, etc. Very truly yours, Dr. W. f.
