Title	Letter from William Russell to Charles Ruland sending a drawing, formerly wrongly attributed to Raphael, that he thinks the Prince Consort may be interested to see.
Date	7 February 1861
Writer	Russell, William; art collector, Accountant General of the Court of Chancery
Addressee	Ruland, Charles; Librarian to the Prince Consort
Description	Russell writes that he is sending an early drawing of the Battle of Constantine which he thinks may be of interest to the Prince Consort. It once belonged to Consul Udney and was mistakenly attributed to Raphael. He comments that it is not related to the engraving by J.B. Cavalleriis. Richardson recorded that Raphael made a superb drawing of the same subject but Russell cannot recall where it is now, if it exists.
