ENNERDALE LAKE. I THINK WAS PROPERTY OF HOW HALL PENRITH CUMBERLAND. PICTURE PAINTED FROM HOW HALL FOR MISS DICKINSON WHO BECAME MRS UNSWORTH MY GRANDMOTHER. I SHOULD LIKE THIS SMALL PICTURE TO GO BACK TO A PENRITH MUSEUM OR A SUITABLE MUSEUM. I BELIEVE THE LAKE IS NOW LOST IN A RESEVOIR. Kathleen M Wild 28.II.72
