The Cotman Letters 1835-1837

{Typed transcript}
going to remove into, the other Day, I counted the windows and how many do you think there were, more than 200. is not that an enormous quantity. It is a Square stone building three sides with windows one blank, the court has windows all round it. I should suppose that it is the finest and largest warehouse in England, tis a complete palace in appearance and importance fronting the principle Sqr with a large Space intervening. I had a Letter from Father and Mother to-day and hear that Edmund is at Reading with A. Priest. I hope he will enjoy himself and get up his health for he was very poorly when I left. Papa seems poorly, how Mother is I cannot say for she does not mention it. Alfred appears to be better but not well. Ann is in the Country. Papa says give my love to her, and Aunt and Cousins. You will receive with this the Handkerchiefs I mentioned we have not any more but as I cannot wear them they are of no service to me, but I intended them only for sample but they were soon sold. My health is pretty good. I some times as you may imagine feel rather tired and languid but never to the extent I used to when at London, neither do I feel the heat so much. I feel rather tired though to-night and hope you will allow me to sign, dear John

Your affectionate Brother
F. W. Cotman.

I wish you could ascertain about the time H. Chamberlin will be before he comes up and let me know when you next write. Love to A. Dixon.
