I fear to ask you over because I have nothing new to show, I know how busily occupied you are. But I shall try one day to persuade you— I am waiting in high hopes of seeing sometime your abounding treasures. But there again I fear to bother you.
Love to the girls.

{letter to Kitson from Finberg}

My dear Kitson,

Here is my note of the unpublished entry in Farington's diary of which we were speaking today:
'Sunday 15 December 1799. Dined with Dr. Monro, Hoppnes and Daniell there. Dr. M is bringing forward another young man who come from Norwich.'

Yours sincerely
A. J. Finberg

Sydney D. Kitson Esq.

The 'Daniell' was Thomas D. , R. A
