Letter from one of de László's few authorised copyists, Frederick Cullen, confirming a commission from Lord Northcliffe to copy [4751 or 4753] de László's portrait of Mrs Harmsworth [6909]; he is very pleased as he was "afraid this dreadful war had stopped all such work." Cullen asks de László whether it should be painted on a smooth canvas, and proposes a new working method given the original has "a good deal of the surface board showing"
