- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin thanks Le Keux for his speedy work and asks for 50 copies of Ruskin's etching in brown, with no more copies of the same in blue. He tells Le Keux that he will send him lettering the following day. Ruskin gives Le Keux the following instructions for the "Tree plate": "The Tree plate is all right except Turneresque for Turneresque. The Sque must be taken out & esque put in: All else then will be [in] time for on Wednesday, when I will give you as much as you can carry for conversation [?]." In a postscript, Ruskin says that once the Le Keux has made the instructed changes, he can go on with the tree plate. [Letter probably in reference to Plate 27, The Aspen Under Idealization, in Modern Painters Vol. IV.]
