Dear Mr Kitson
Many thanks for yours
I am sorry you are not particularly keen on the drawing personally I like this period far in front of the coast scenes, and consider it a majestic style which will one day be worth more than the blue and gold drawings
Re price I did not purchase the drawing cheaply as I particularly wanted to have it
Yours sincerely
Douglas Thomson
