Dear Sir,
In answer to your letter for which I thank you, I am extremely sorry that I can give you really no information re John Sell Cotman's associations with my great grandfather Dr Thomas Monro. Though of course I remember the name & have a strong impression of hearing it in connection with him.
I can find no record of his having visited the house in Adelphi Terrace or Fetcham.

I would gladly welcome you here & show
