[Sir David Wilkie, Scottish genre painter.] Four Autograph Letters, two of them signed and two in the third person, to different individuals.

See his entry, and that of George Doo, engraver, in the Oxford DNB. The four items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn The items of 1832 and 1838 are in the third person; those of 1837 and 1839 are signed, 'D. Wilkie' and 'David Wilkie' respectively. The 1832 letter, accepting a dinner invitation from 'Dr and Mrs Baillie', is 1p, 16mo; the other three items are each 1p, 12mo. In 1838 he writes to 'Capt Seymour' to ask for 'the present address of Sir William Knighton'. The other two letters, in the first person, are on bifoliums, each addressed on reverse of second leaf with remains of wax seal. In 1837 he writes a postmarked letter to the engraver George Doo of 29 Bayham Terrace, Camden Town, arranging to 'look over the Proof of Knox' (i.e. his portrait of John Knox). In 1839 he writes to Alexander Fraser of Seymour Street, Somers Town, asking for a 'verbal answer' to an invitation.
