Extract

The interest which you so kindly took in the communication that I made to the Society at the beginning of the present year upon the portrait at Windsor Castle, presumed to represent Prince Arthur, eldest son of Henry VII., induces me to address this letter to you. I do so the more willingly as it enables me to state the result of a few investigations begun at your suggestion, and also to acknowledge the liberal assistance I received from various sources whilst prosecuting my researches.
