Dear Mr Kitson,
Thank you so much for your very kind and interesting letter of the 22nd. and for the two photographs of Cotman's drawings of the York tower. I have transferred all the information to the back of the photographs and also to our Register cards for record purposes.
I congratulate you on finding the very charming example which you possess, as in composition it is splendid and when in good condition it must have been a beauty, in spite of its small size. I received the photograph of our own drawing last night and was on the point of sending it today in any case. - I have for some time wanted to have the spots attended to although one naturally dreads the risk of doing so. - I notice that you would like to have three copies and I have ordered two others to be made immediately and they shall be sent on in a separate packet.
