Diarist and translator (1819-1871). Three pages, 12mo. N.B. " In 1844 [Callcott]succeeded Mr. Seguier as conservator of the royal pictures" (DNB). Caroline Fox, in lively style, congratulates him on his appointment and approves the discernment of the Queen and Prince Albert. A cold prevents her personally congratulating him but the next time she goes out "the gravel pits he lived at Kensington Gravel Pits] shall [be] on my way". She will inform Lady Holland that day, and Lady Lansdowne.
