SMITHSONIAN BEQUEST. 69 



Mr. Deacon informed as when wo saw him that he had in his pos- 

 session a painting belonging- to the estate, and which he promised 

 should be sent over to your house, and which we presume he has done; 

 but should he not have done so, perhaps you will be good enough to 

 apply to him for it. 



We will thank you to send us an acknowledgment for the different 

 boxes we have handed }' ou. 



We are, dear sir, your very faithful servants, 



Clarke, Fynmore & Fladgate. 



Richard Rush, Esq.
