2. Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), artist and poet [more].

4. Steevens
Perhaps Alfred Émile-Léopold Stevens (1823-1906), history and portrait painter [more]. There is a note on the back of the letter: 'By Stevens Whistler must have meant Alfred Stevens, the celebrated Belgian painter. I did not meet him.' See also JW to Stevens, 9 May 1863, #09433.
