    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
