- Scope and Content:
- Addressed to Lupton at 4 Keppel Street, Russell Square. Ruskin asks about the pattern of letters engraved, saying that the letters are "bigger by a third than any in the book." He asks Lupton to correct them "as now pencilled above" and "speedily." Says that he has written to Brooke to lend Lupton more plates. He comments that the "retouchings [are] all right," and directs Lupton to "look at the <emph render="underline">Book</emph>--vol III" for a pattern for the title of "<emph render="underline">stones</emph>." This likely refers to <title render="italic">The Stones of Venice</title>, the first work on which Ruskin and Lupton collaborated.
