    Dear Mr Kitson
    You will be glad to hear that Mrs Barker is presenting to the Museum the Dawson Turner and other Cotman letters:
    25 letters of Dawson Turner
    1 -- Mrs Turner
    4 -- Mrs J. S. Cotman
    (Normandy 1817-20 and one letter of 1836).
    This is due to your kind suggestion - for which I thank you.
    Yours sincerely
    A. M. Hind
