[Sandys, Frederic- Autograph Letter Signed to William Michael Rossetti] Wonderful ALS by Sandys to W. M. Rossetti, Mentioning Gabriel

Three pages [17 July, 1874]. Superb letter written by Frederick Sandys, famed Pre-Raphaelite painter, illustrator and draughtsman, who was closely allied with the PRB to William Michael Rossetti. "1 Spenser Street, Victoria Street- Friday. My dear Rossetti, I had a note from Gabriel saying he was coming to town for a day or two and would call if possible. I write to you not knowing quite where a note would find him- to say he must come- I have a portrait of a fearful old woman I want him to see and tell me about- I want you to see it also- will you come any day before Wednesday... There is an awful lot of work in the picture in fact it consist entirely of caps- cap strings and white stomacher- Do come- and pray communicate my most earnest desire to Gabriel. Your faithfully, Fredrk. Sandys. My place is a new red brick House- by Large and Small coach-buildings.
