    Dear Mr Kitson
    I am much obliged to you for your 2 drawings. They certainly seem to be studies used in the watercolour "Harbour Scene" by Cotman in the Powell Collections.
    Mr Powell was here today and much interested to see them. I am returning

    them and if we have the water-colour photograph I will send you a print.
    It is a most valuable and generous gift on Mr Powell's part.
    Yours sincerely
    Charles Aitken
