Abstract
Among the Wordsworth family papers that came to the Dove Cottage Library following a well-publicized sale at Sotheby's on July 6, 1977 is a hitherto unpublished letter from John Constable to William Wordsworth. Dated June 15, 1836 — less than a year before Constable's death — the letter, although unpretentious in purpose and tone, valuably documents a main development of Constable's art. It is also the latest expression yet recorded of Constable's appreciation of Wordsworth and a touching acknowledgment of his gratitude to Sir George Beaumont, friend and benefactor of both Constable and Wordsworth.
