He spoke of a portrait of Oliver that had been in his family since
Oliver's time--till sold for a few shillings to some one in Norwich by
some rascal relation. The portrait unlike all he has seen in painting or
engraving: very pale, very thoughtful, very commanding, he says. If he
ever recovers it, he will present you with it; he says if it should cost
him 10 pounds--for he admires you. {220}
