content: London, 27 February 1816, to Richard James Laurence. West requests the loan of two pictures for an apparent exhibition of "all the pictures painted by me within the last fifty years." The first,  -- Faith and Hope  -- (from Spenser's "Poems of the Fairy Queen"), depicts Laurence's mother and sister, and the second,  -- Una and the Lion -- , is a portrait of Laurence's wife, nee Miss Hall (Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford).
