SMITHSONIAN BEQUEST. 69 



Mr. Deacon informed us when we 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 you. 



We are, dear sir, your veiy faithful servants, 



CLARKE, FYNMORE & FLADGATE. 



RICHARD RUSH, Esq.
