Expresses some concerns about the proposed painting of his portrait [see WJ's 1833-1-1].
Is gratified that JH has consented to sit for his portrait. Let him know the artist he has selected and they can arrange sittings.
Entirely approves of his choice of Thomas Phillips for his portrait. Has already painted Hugh Percy (3rd Duke of Northumberland).
Has had no communication with Thomas Phillips regarding JH's portrait and they would approve of JH's choice of H. W. Pickersgill. Will call on Pickersgill when he is in town and arrange size of the portrait.
Has been laid up with influenza, which delayed his answer. Has seen H. W. Pickersgill, who will be very pleased to paint JH's portrait. Can he arrange a meeting?
