I am dear Sir,
Your much obliged & obedient servant,
John S. Cotman.
Norwich. July 31st 1811.
I have taken the liberty of sending the enclosed for your criticisms. It is my pride to acknowledge however far I may be behind Piranesi, that I look up to him as my model, and though it is by little & by little, I hope to do better.
