    Lady Palgrave (Elizabeth Turner) to Dawson Turner.
    Dec: 31. 1833.
    ....Mr Cotman came to tea last night, in very high spirits, which make me tremble. He has everything, I think, that can be desired in the way of testimontials. From Wilkins, the architect, he has one, besides those I mentioned, and a very kind & high one from Mr Utterson*.
