J. Irvine, inviting the addressee to take a look at the works: "I send you some prints etc. for your acceptance for the Fancy Fair and informed Mr West that there are some things left here from a Lieut. T. J. Irvine R.N. and his daughters which you will have the goodness to send for. What do you think of my sending my [...] painting of the Battle of Camperdown, it will make a show and I might get a chance of selling of it - if so the society should have the usual percentage, if put in good light it would attract a great many persons to see it. I will send it, and hang it, and take it away without putting the society to any expense [...]".
With collector's note to backing paper and some brownstaining.
