Letter: 6pp., 12mo, on bifolium and single leaf. An vivid and entertaining letter, shedding light on Victorian valuation and auctioneering practices. Barling wastes no time in passing on the bad news. 'I am very glad you have written to me about the B[awdeswe]ll. pictures & I can tell you [last world underlined] plainly what the 2 Christie's opinion was which I cd. not do to poor old C[larke]. S[toughto]n. The inspection in issue was a grievous disappointment. So far worse than I cd. have possibly believed, and then coming the question cd. two such Men as the Christies be wrong? for my part I think impossible [last word underlined twice] to have them looked over again by some other authority? - in as few words as I can put it I will give the Messrs. C opinion there being no difference between them. taking 4 or 5 pictures the so named Danae by Rubens, which they clearly set down as a vulgar daub, and the Minervas & if I recollect "choice of Paris" these I think old Clarke S considered the very valuable lot - I said to Christie "now will it answer to send these up to London? oh no said he - then I said what sum wd. they returrn after expenses 30£? he said they might return about 30 - however to cut the matter short - they said "there is not a picture in the house of any value and we knew it when we had been in it a very short time" this of course was as bad as bad cd. be'. Regarding 'the fowl pieces' - 'probably Spanish copies' - Barling exclaims: 'Surely they must (the family I mean) have been under an awful delusion! particularly as to price paid by the C o Cl: or he must have been an awful Noodle or the Christies (the first firm in the World in that line) know nothing of their business'. He feels that Beevor's 'good tact & judgment' will direct him 'for the best in the rather difficult affairs'. He now changes the subject, reporting 'a frightful murder in Shotesham tho: the woman yet breathed this mor[nin]g.', deploring the conduct of 'H P', and stating that he has received 'a very melancholy note from E R Br. yesterday in reference to himself - he says "that his strength has become "but labour & sorrow" and that "the conclusion cannot be far away". He concludes with other local news. Accompanying the letter is a list in another hand of six paintings (1p., 12mo, on worn paper), totalling £1200 in price. Above it Barling has written 'Catalogue of Pictures' and beneath it 'Clarke Stoughton Esqe.'. At the foot of the page Barling writes, in red ink, 'Deposited for Policy No 2199 | See Lr. 25th April 1868'. Included in the list are 'Danae in the Golden Shower - £200' and 'Diana bathing - £200'.

Both essay and letter on aged and brittle paper, with some chipping to extremities (not affecting text). Both are written in a tight, close hand. The letter: 2pp., 12mo. Jones begins: 'You will by this post, receive the Fragmentary Brathwayte Poetry, I some time since promised to send for your acceptance accompanied by a few Notes, I have at different times, collected, relating to their Author in whom you may perhaps feel inclined to take some interest, as one of our early English Poets contemporary, if not acquainted personally with our immortal Bard Shakspear.' He contends that, although 'singular', Brathwaite was 'a very popular Character in his time, and it does therefore seem strange what could have induced him to conceal the authorship of his "Barnabie's Journal" from the World'. The letter continues in the same tone, with a long initialled postscript. The essay is 4pp., 12mo, in a bifolium, with additional leaf carrying the title 'Notices of Richard Brathwayte and his Works.' The essay assembles a mass of biographical information in a small space, with marginal notes.
