| Description | two letters from Lord Dacre to Jacob, 2nd Earl of Radnor (1750-1828) about the acquisition by the latter of portraits from the sale at Aldermarston, some of which were supposed to be of the Barrett family, from whom Lord Dacre was descended; the 2nd Earl was more interested in those of the Foster/Forster family, ancestors of his mother's family, the Pleydells, as he seems to have explained to Lord Dacre at length, although he too was descended from the Barretts |
