- Scope and Content:
- "I forgot to say, the two towns are quite right. Want nothing but a little darkening, all over, of the horseman and his guide on the bridge in the lower one. They are a little indistinct. When this is done, please send that plate to Messrs. Smith & Elder, 65 Cornhill, who will see to lettering. Perhaps this had better be done at once so as to get the plate out of hand."
