My dear Kitson,
The Cotman drawing went to Mrs. Morse - a daughter
of Mrs. Busk. I do not know whether you know her.
Fortunately, we are in touch with Mrs. Morse, and she is
prepared to lend us the drawing for exhibition at some
time. It was very much a Museum piece, as a document
in Cotman's career, but the price sailed hopelessly
beyond us.
Yours very sincerely,
Martin Hardie
