Dante Gabriel Rossetti letter to Ellen Heaton, 1855 May 11
Item — Box: 1, Folder: 55.23
Call Number: MSS 47
Scope and Contents
Rossetti expresses his hope that he can begin Heaton's commission and tells her that he will write to her if he commences the work while she is still in London so that she can visit him to see it. Rossetti admits that the "interruptions" delaying his work on Heaton's commission have also held up his other pieces and so he does not have anything "to show at present" but thanks Heaton for her continued interest. Rossetti is pleased that a gentleman has commissioned work from Arthur Hughes on Heaton's recommendation.
