day for going to Suffolk—I was however prevented by Mr.
Lewis's arrival . . . & by a call upon me for portraits—for I
assure you my reputation in that way is much upon the
increase. They (the pictures) are now gone and I shall leave
town this afternoon—one of them, a portrait of the Revd.
George Bridgeman . . . far excells any of my attempts in that
way . . . it is to go into Staffordshire to Lord Bradford's seat.
. . . I have one there already. . . . My price for a head is 15
guineas and I am tolerably expeditious when I can have fair
play at my sitter. I have been much engaged by Lady
Heathcote . . . my pictures of herself and her mother occupy
either end of the large drawing room in Grosvenor Square. . . .
She is to bring me a very handsome boy at the Xmas holidays
to paint. . . . I am now leaving London for the only time in my
life with pockets full of money. I am entirely free from debt . .
. and I have required no assistance from my father for some
time." (JCC II, p. 108-110; see also JCC I, p. 98, JC: FDC, p.
