Scope and content
Pen sketch on paper (7.5 x 12 cm). Enclosed with an explanatory note by Henry Festing Jones: 'Butler's laundress was Mrs. Corrie. Mr Corrie (? Corry) not having been heard if for some years she became Mrs. Doncaster, but whether they went through any ceremony or not I do not know. This portrait of Robert Doncaster by Butler was made, I have no doubt, with the Camera Lucida.'
