| Description | Letter written from Norwich, dated 1 December. Opie [1769-1853, novelist and poet] asks for information about the medical case of her cousin, Miss Alderson of Hull. It appears that Ash [1764-1829, physician] has made a note of his reply on the top of the letter, to the effect that Miss Alderson is under the medical care of her father. Accompanied by engravings of Mrs Opie and John Opie, R.A. [1761-1807, portrait and history painter]. |
