    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

    S.D.Kitson, Esq.,
