Sir Thomas Rumbold and George Romney the artist:

I have been hoping to find any correspondence between Sir Thomas Rumbold 1st Baronet of Woodhall, Lady Joanna Rumbold and the artist George Romney.  Not being in the UK I am not able to read any such material that may be at the British Library or other museums.  Does anyone in the group have any knowledge of the Rumbolds?  I would like to communicate and more fully explain.  Thank you.
