Refers to the 'Prioress's Tale', 'Cuckoo and Nightingale', and the passage from 'Troilus and Cressida'. Sends a message to Miss Gillies. Admires her picture which he has just received. Opines that the profession of the portrait painter would be mortifying if the artist 'did not rise above the common region of inexperienced judgement'. Remembers himself to Mrs Powell and Powell's brother. Postscript mentions the family's health, and expresses disappointment that Miss Roughsedge's portrait did not arrive.
