Richmond wrote the following note at the bottom of page 29v, this was subsequently crossed out in pencil at a unknown date: "Finished a 3/4 picture of my dear friend Henry Walter, which I purpose leaving to a public Gallery with his picture of a farm yard. Both these I now leave to the National Gallery. Nov 26 1865, Geo Richmond"

Page 30 contains a summary of the years accounts, noting that 37 pictures were completed, 11 pictures were engraved and that a total sum of £2394.2.6 was paid to Richmond. Underneath this summary Richmond has added details of his creation of a member of 'The Club' on 14 Feb 1860 and the death of his mother on 30 Dec 1860.

The 1865 date has been derived from the note by Richmond on page 29v regarding the portrait of Henry Walter. It is possible that the notes made on page 30 were made at a later date but there is no knowledge of when this might have been.
