I have not suited myself with a House yet. I find it a more difficult thing to do than I expected. The one you offer I am afraid is too small, but tomorrow or next day I will call and look at it at all events.
I am obliged to you for your offer respecting fitting up any House I may take.
Your ob[edien]t humble S[er]v[an]t
J. S. Cotman.

P. Thompson had the Bazaar Rooms at Norwich. He wanted to buy Cotman’s coppers, but his offer fell thro’ because it was not thought he w[oul]d do them justice in the printing – see J. S. C’s letter to D[awson] T[urner] Dec: 25, 1835, and Bohn’s letter to D[awson] T[urner] Dec: 29, 1835.
