Footnotes

"The portrait seems to me to be the thing - as a plate, highly enjoyable... I have left your japanese paper to pull proofs from after you have positively passed the plate... so far as the letters are concerned I have still the same wish for secrecy as before, - that is, until the book is actually on my publishers' shelves... WM Rossetti is in the secret..." (Forman's letter).
