My dear Edward,
. . . . . Acting on your supposition that Charles Alston had some Alston portraits I wrote to him \endash and soon ascertained that he had several portraits which he would gladly exchange for coin of the realm. I purchased accordingly a sketch in pencil of Jacobus Vanderzee by William Keeble 1743 (here he certainly looks more like 55 than 29), the 2 oval oil paintings of Samuel Alston and Mary his wife, which your mother had, and a small miniature of the same Samuel your and my Gt G Father; also some china plates once the property of Jacobus, I am particularly glad to have rescued these portraits from the Chatham brokers. . . . . .
. . . . . I hope I don't bore you but it is a pleasure to unburden myself to you when I think I have anything new.
Yours affectionately
Edw L Fenn
My brother (Ernest Harrold Fenn) left for Bromley last week.
