returned from my very pleasant visit at General Rebow's on
Monday. . . . I am going to paint two small landscapes for the
General, views one in the park of the house & a beautifull
wood and peice of water, and another scene in a wood with a
beautifull little fishing house, where the young Lady (who is
heroine of all these scenes) goes occasionally to angle.
"They wish me to take my own time about them—but he
will pay me for them when I please. . . . I am next year to
paint another picture of their little girl, with her donkey, for
their house in town (Gloster Place). . . . am getting on as well
as I can with my own pictures but these little things of the
General's rather interrupt them and I am afraid will detain
[me] here a week or two longer than I could have hoped. . . . I
have been out by the river this morning." (JCC II, pp. 196-97)
