[Jackson, T. W.- Autograph Letter] Regarding John Payne

One page on mourning stationary from T. W. Jackson, the curator of the Hope Portrait Collection in Oxford, to an unnamed recipient regarding a query for a portrait, "Hope Port. Coll[ection], Oxford, 22 Oct. 1909. Dear Sir, We have no portrait of a John Paine [sic], the translator of Villon, in the collection: and I don't remember having seen one anywhere. His name does not occur in the ALA Index of portraits contained in printed books. I am, yours... T. W. Jackson." Referring to the English poet, translator, and friend to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Payne, Jackson may have missed the entries and holding in the collection, due to a misspelling of Payne's name (viz Paine).
