Thursday [July 1878]
My dear Janey,
I am sending you the 2 autotypes. At some moment you can let me have them again for framing.
I hope you will be able to send me just one line to say how you are.
Your affectionate
Gabriel
I copy overpage a label which is to be printed and put on the Silence—
1
Silence holds in on hand a branch of peach, the symbol used by the ancients; its fruit being
held to resemble the human heart and its leaf the human tongue. With the other hand she draws
together the veil encircling the shrine in which she sits.
Transcribed Note (page 71):
1 Crayon drawing, 1870, a favourite of Rossetti. Sold without his knowledge during his illness and absence in Scotland in 1872 to Aldam Heaton. Bought back and sold to Charles Rowley of Manchester in 1876 (S.214). Now in Brooklyn Museum, N.Y.
