Text Appearing Before Image:
to produce a warm effect. It has indeed nopositive colour, and there is much of grey and green in it; butsuch is its atmospheric truth, that the tremulous vibration of theheated air near the ground seems visible. This perfect workremained in his possession to the end of his life.* * East Bergholt,• To Miss BiCKNELL. October 2nd, 1814. We have had a most delightful season. It is many yearssince I have pursued my studies so uninterruptedly and socalmly, or worked with so much steadiness or confidence. Ihope you will see me an artist some time or other. * Now at South Kensington. As an amateur boat-builder I can vouch for thetruly Dutch accuracy of every detail in this picture ; from the boy who sits in theshade of the barge bow on a calkers stool, quietly rolling up oakum, the fire ofchips, pitch-pot and ladle on the left, to the bright edged shipwrights adze and othertools to the right of the barge ; all sparkling in the sun, and painted with the full fattouch of Wilson at his best.

Tis true you have been delightfully busy thissummer, and so far so good. To Miss Bicknell. October 2^t/i, 1814. ... I am happy to hear of some improvement in yourmothers health; I hope it may continue to advance. Thoughany notice or good wishes from me I know will be useless, yet Imention it for your sake. ... I have had a distressing letter frommy friend John Fisher, on the death of his uncle. General Fisher.Poor Fisher was acting the part of comforter when no comfortcould be imparted. The distress of the Generals daughter, Mrs.Conroy, and of his son-in-law, was beyond all belief. A finemanly soldier weepin
