    infant we form a very happy family party. I am afraid I must confess great remissness in the Arts, of which I am nevertheless as fond as ever, but as I am now in the neighbourhood of Mr. Swinburne, I have no doubt he will encourage me to resume the pursuit as much as ever. In this Country it is particularly interesting as there are many very pleasing and even beautiful subjects, though it cannot boast any very fine features. Believe me when I assure you I heard and shall ever hear of your Welfare with true pleasure and that I shall ever remain
    You sincere Friend
    Katharine H. Charlton.

To John Sell Cotman from Katherine Charlton,  6th April 1811.
