Excerpt from Sir Frank Lockwood: A Biographical Sketch Sir Frank Lockwood kept no diary except when on his brief travels, and the only regular correspondent he ever had was his father, who died in 1891. These letters with the fewest exceptions have been mislaid. His great gift Of illustration, which accompanied him all his life and became his second nature, tended to destroy, by rendering unnecessary, the habit Of conveying his mind by writing. It is no exaggeration to say that he communicated with his family and friends pictorially. To publish more than a few examples Of these picture-letters would be to turn what is at all events meant for a biography into a portfolio.
