Title	Letter from William Russell to Charles Ruland sending a picture from Sir Joshua Reynolds's collection which may be by Raphael, and some items from a recent sale.
Date	1 July 1860
Writer	Russell, William; art collector, Accountant General of the Court of Chancery
Addressee	Ruland, Charles; Librarian to the Prince Consort
Description	Russell sends a small picture of 'Wrestling with the Angel' which was in Sir Joshua Reynolds's collection and then thought to be by Raphael. He remarks that among the photographs he saw [in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection], a beautiful drawing now at Oxford, bought from the King of Holland's sale, seemed to be missing and he is sending a tracing of it. He is also sending 'a few choice items' from Wilkie's recent sale. 'Wilkie' may be a reference to the painter Sir David Wilkie (d. 1841) but this is not clear.
