Wm to H'ry, Jan. 26, 1893. Age: 51

Wm requests that H'ry bring him a photograph:

"If you want to bring me aught more, there is a madonna & 2 saints by Philippino Lippi in the Natl. Gallery, no. 293 -- not the original but a photograph, if you should be going to the N.G. yourself before you come..."

The image in question, Filippino Lippi's
Madonna and Child with SS. Jerome and Dominic

H'ry was surely relieved that he didn't have to bring the original.
