Your tetter from Paris of the a 1st arrived, in good time yesterday, my dearest Polly,, to comfort me mider the loss of the single article in the Portland Museum, on which I had- set my hearty to present to you. I thought that I had left a splendid commission, 35/. It sold for 38/. hfs. I inquired the name of the purchaser, and was directed to Jef- &ries and Jones. I went to them^ but 14& Was infoimed ^hat it was purbhiaised for the Duke of Portland, who had ord^rtid them to bid 100 guineas, or... rather by no means to suffer it to be sold. Such an answer ruined all my hopes. I soon however -recovered the disappointment, when I had the account of your agree- able journey, and safe arrival at Paris, and I lost sight of " the thirty circular portraits of illustrious personages, finely modelled and coloured by Holbein,** to turn my view towards the illustrious per- sonages, the Dutchess de la Valliere, the Princesse de Tarente, the Dutchess de ChastiBon, with whom you are at pre- sent. Nothing can exceed the polite tender- ness of their manner of receiving the English traveller.
