Selected Letters Letter from Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts to G.F. Watts, dated 8 October 1898, arranging sittings with the artist and asking if his wife and daughters may see the artist's portrait of him.
 

The Royal Hospital.
Dublin.
8th October 1898.

Dear Mr. Watts,
I will be with you at 11 am. On Thursday the 13th instant, and, in case you may require another sitting, I will keep the 14th and 15th disengaged.

Would you very kindly send me a line to say whether Lady Roberts and my daughters may see the picture before you leave London. They

 

are longing to do so, and so is yours very sincerely
Roberts.

Please address
United Services Club
Pall Mall
As I leave this on Monday
