Haghe features prominently in William Day's entry in the Oxford DNB, in which their firm's publication of Robert's 'Holy Land' (1842-49) is described as 'the most ambitious lithographic work ever published', for which 'Haghe, praised by Roberts for the faithful and artistic interpretation of his drawings, must bear most of the c…redit for the success of this publication'. See also the entry on the recipient Charles Manby (1804-1884), Secretary of the Institution of Civil Engineers. 2pp, 12mo. On the first leaf of a 12mo bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with strip of mount adhering to edge of blank second leaf. Addressed to 'Charles Mamby [sic] Esquire' and signed 'L Haghe'. Marked as 'Entered' at top left of first leaf. He has great pleasure in lending 'a large water colour drawing the only one I have by me' for 'your conversatione', and will send it 'to the institution 25 great George Street before the 26th'. He also thanks him for putting his name 'in the free list at the adelphi and Haymarket theatres'. He would 'in several instances have made use of the priviledge [sic]' had he been aware of it, and will now do so.

8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. To his son-in-law Henry Bicknell, making arrangements to meet: "I have unfortunately accepted an invitation to dine with Lord Tenterden on Wednesday, had it been an other I would have endeavoured to get off - as it is I have done as you desired an pop'd Marochetti into the fire. With the exception of that…and Saturday I am disengaged the rest of the week [.]". - In a postscript, he adds that "Turner called on Monday to say he would dine with you tomorrow having mistaken the day - he is to dine with your Governor [Henry Bicknell's father, the art collector Elhanan Bicknell] on Saturday". - Roberts enjoyed a close and warm relationship with his daughter and her husband, no doubt a compensation for his own unhappy marriage.
