In a very few points only did I depart from this composition drawing the painting in the finished picture, windows background
of … added. This cartoon was rolled up on the completion of the painting. It remained so until the painting was burnt; when it was unrolled and in its original state mounted for preservation. Dec. 1916 Robert Harris
