for Norwich. I do not expect to leave London, at least, yet.
The mania of Maguilp is hard on me, and I mainly
walk about for exercise but shall, after Saturday, take
trips on the Thames & endeavour to teach Edmund that

I sincerely hope you are in better health, I am afraid in

My best regards to you & to your Family,
Yours, my dear Sir,
Very sincerely
J. S. Cotman.
