Sir Charles Blount, of Marple-Durham, in com. Oxon. (near Reding), was his scholar (in his epistles there are some to him), and desired Erasmus to do him the favour to sit for his picture, and he did so, and it is an excellent piece : which picture my cosen John Danvers, of Baynton (Wilts), has : his wive's grandmother was Sir Charles Blount's daughter or grand-daughter. It was pitty such a rarity should have been aliened from the family, but the issue male is lately extinct. I will sometime or other endeavour to get it for Oxford Library.
