- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin advises Heaton to purchase Turner's <title>Aldborough</title> as soon as is possible and requests that she send the money and makes the arrangements with the dealer [White] as much as she can without him as Ruskin doesn't "like any direct dealings with White just now.". Ruskin tells Heaton that if she can provide more money in cash, White would likely sell her a vignette of Walter Scott's house. Ruskin ends by saying he hopes he can meet with Heaton on Thursday.
