[1] A bill found in the Codman family papers reads: "Boston, June 30, 1847 Mr. H. Codman/ bought of William Y. Balch/ looking glass, portrait and picture-frame manufactory/ no. 10 Tremont Row/ 3 paintings by Doughty $105.00 Rec'd payt. William Y. Balch." Mr. Codman owned four paintings by Doughty, so it is not certain that "Romantic Landscape with a Temple" was one of the three purchased on this occasion.
