LETTER XIV.

TO MADOX BROWN, HAMPSTEAD.

14 Chatham Place. [14 January 1853.]

My dear Brown,

I find that the blessed white daub will not be finished before to-morrow evening, but then it _will_ be finished. Green has still got the frame; and herewith I write to him to send for the picture. I suppose your case is not gone yet, but write in order that you may not be in doubt as to my movements. The fact is, I have been very lazy.

Your affectionate D. G. R.
