Letter from one of de László's few authorised copyists, Frederick Cullen, confirming receipt of de László's portrait of Mrs Harmsworth [6909]; he will start the copy [4751 or 4753] immediately. Also discusses a possible commission to copy de László's portrait of Lord Castlereagh [6147], which Cullen likes "very much". Since Lord Castlereagh does not wish to part with the original, the copy [6149] is to be made at Londonderry House; the fee for the copy is £40. Cullen's brother, a paper and board merchant, can arrange the manufacture of board should de László be interested
