On page 38 Richmond writes he worked for many weeks (perhaps 7) on the marble of the Bishop of London monument, finishing all but the last few touches. He received £200, total payment for the statue was £7,200. Richmond also writes he made 10 small copies for Sir Thos. Aclands book of Grillions. He finally writes that due to his health he took hardly any appointments after April and gave up commissions to the amount of £2000. No detailed summary of 1865 is given but Richmond records 8 portraits, though he has not numbered all works undertaken, and the earnings of £1467.10.0.
