Scope and Content:
Ruskin asks after Le Keux and says he has finished with Dr. Magoon's [Rev. E.L. Magoon] drawing and that he would like Le Keux to pack it for him. He asks when he can send the drawing to Le Keux but that he will pack it himself if Le Keux is too busy to do it. Ruskin ends by remarking that he has been "sadly busy and this thing has been awfully difficult."
