    Of the Architectural Antiquities I have from Plate 31 to 48 inclusive.
    Yarmouth Nov.4 1819.
    Dear Sir,
    I forward to you the required Numbers of my Norfolk Antiquities. - and Brasses. I have kept them longer than I should otherwise have done under the impression that I should be the bearer of them and accepted your friendly invitation long before this - for which I beg to return my thanks. At present I see no chance of my being in Norwich. When I am I will not fail paying my respects to you.
    I am dear Sir
    Your obliged & obedient. Servant.
    John S. Cotman.
