XLIV. Portrait of James Boswell, Esq. From a Painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds

"TO SIR JOSHUA REynolds.

"London, 7th June, 1785.

"MY DEAR SIR, - The debts which I contracted in my
father's lifetime will not be cleared off by me for some
years. I therefore think it unconscientious to indulge
myself in any expensive article of elegant luxury.
But in the mean time, you may die, or I may die;
and I should regret very much that there should not
be at Auchinleck my portrait painted by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, with whom I have the felicity of living in

social intercourse.

"I have a proposal to make to you. I am for certain
to be called to the English bar next February. Will
you now do my picture, and the price shall be paid out
of the first fees which I receive as a barrister in West-
minster Hall. Or if that fund should fail, it shall be
paid at any rate in five years hence, by myself or my
representatives.

"If you are pleased to approve of this proposal, your
signifying your concurrence underneath, upon two
duplicates, one of which shall be kept by each of us,
will be a sufficient voucher of the obligation. I ever
am, with very sincere regard, my dear Sir, your faith-
ful and affectionate humble servant,

"I agree to the above conditions.

"London, 10th Sept. 1785."

"JAMES BOSWELL."

"J. REYNOLDS."

XLV. Portrait of the Right Hon. Warren Hastings. From
an original Miniature Painting in the possession of
