    Letter from Mary Woodburn to Dr. Ernst Becker concerning the Raphael drawings belonging to her late brother.

    24 Nov 1858

    Loose manuscript paper; mounted | 1 document (4 pages) (whole object) | RA VIC/ADDA10/85/40

    Miss Woodburn writes that circumstances have prevented her from recovering the Raphael drawings belonging to her late brother from storage, but she promises to get the unframed ones out and to let Becker know when he can come and see them. She regrets that the few framed drawings will have to wait until her brother's former employee can come and help her.
