Transcription Notes:
So many mistakes were introduced here by someone who changed correct words to incorrect ones. 1. Painter is Robert Feke, American portrait painter; misspelled here as "Feake" (not Greake) 2. Drawings are by Edwin Landseer, an English painter (not Landsen) Please do not change correct names to incorrect ones because you think the handwriting shows something different from what has been transcribed. Use Google to try to confirm the names you're entering. Not always useful but in this case you would find there is a very famous artist named Landseer. 3. Fixed formatting : do not try to match original line breaks (please read transcription instructions)
