Chapter XV: 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.
