44 Grosvenor Place, S.W. My dear Jones Thanks for your kind note and no less for Mrs Jones' clever and I am sure accurate I have rather stupidly kept no separate account of these things but contented acknowledgements sent at the time. Yes please let the £1000 be for the Days of Creation [bg] although I know it and precious work more than that can repay. Foord and Dickinson have never almost sure so it must still be charged to me by them or whoever made it of them for lately and the big Briar Rose frames. Why do you recommend me not to lose any of your work for it is to me the most precious of all art possessions.1 Please tell your dear wife to add to her list of pictures that are for me The Fountain of Youth2 The Romaunt of the Rose3 The Song of Solomon [b32] The little picture of 2 girls with music instruments that are to be for my brother4 The replica of Hamilton's Psyche and Pan5 The large sketch of the Pan making music6 of which some terrible man has picture! - But no!! I think it is Mr Howard7 and he is not a terrible etcetera - etcetera - etcetera i.e. all the other ones that are not born yet - but come into the world if I am still in it! is it not so?! About Rossetti I have another note from him quite reasonable and sensible8 either to Marshall or to Mrs. Rossetti to speak of his health - I fear if it got to and think it was part of the plot he talks of. I have written him again9 and after shall better know what is right to do. Ever Yours affy W. Graham 20/4/76 The Chant ď'amour [b3, 4] too is to be enlarged you know and reworked on and I am to owe you for all new work on it just as new work else I won't have it done you know. So be good and let me have my way. 1 WG did not take either the Troy Triptych or the large Briar Rose series. 2 Not received by WG, as the composition was abandoned, but several versions survive: Tate Gallery (3428); Carlisle Art Gallery; Sargeant Art Gallery, Wanganui, New Zealand. (The picture sold at Christie's, 24 Jan. 1975 (lot 57), does not relate to this subject.) 3 Not received by WG, the composition was designed in the early 1870s as a needlework frieze illustrating Chaucer (William Morris Gallery). A pencil cartoon of Love leading the Pilgrim, c. 1877, was given to Frances Graham (exh. Bume- Jones (Arts Council, 1975), no. 187). An oil painting of the same subject was begun in 1877, and is dated 1896-97 (Tate Gallery 5381). See Wildman and Christian, 1998, nos. 72-81. Two related subjects, but smaller in size, The Pilgrim at the Gate of Idleness and The Heart of the Rose , were with Christopher Wood in 1983. 4 Not received. This is probably the later of two versions of Music referred to in the EBJ notebook, p. 25: '1877, finished replica of two girls with viol and scroll - Graham.' It was in the Kerrison Preston sale, Sotheby's Belgravia, 9 April 1974 (lot 68). The first version, which is dated 1876, was sold at Christie's, 14 March 1997 (lot 56). 5 Not received. Private collection, London. 6 Not received. It is related to The Garden of Pan (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne). John Christian (Wildman and Christian, 1998, no. 120) suggests the influence on this picture of Dosso Dossi, of whose work WG owned several examples, e.g. d9i, 92. 7 George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle (1843-1911), patron of EBJ and artist. He never owned The Garden of Pan. On Howard, see V. Surtees, The Artist and the Autocrat (Salisbury, 1988). 8 See A64. 9 See A65.
