  "Extract from Miss Gray's [the donor's] letter dated 8th Feb 1979. / My own view is that it [the photograph] was taken on the lawn at the back of his house at Wollahra [sic] Point, and Bradley Head is in the background. I appreciate that I may be mistaken. I think some of the Stanwell Park pictures show him as a dark-haired man." -- typescript on the reverse of the photograph
