Three pages, 12mo, bifolium, fold marks, very good condition. If you will let me know what Numbers you require of the Gothic Ornaments {his work first published in 1838] I will endeavour to let you have them. It is very probable that you would not get them at my publishers as there being so little demand for the work now in Numbers we bind them all up as far as we can- But if you will let me know what you require I will send them to you and charge you only [underlined] 2/6 per Number. | I have made up your drawing of Bitton tower, but have taken care of it, and will return it the first opportunity- | I am much obliged for your kind invitation and will take care to avail myself of it should I be called into Devonshire but I have not been any where near there since the last time I was at Exeter Cathedral- | I am building a mansion at Ashwick near Marshfield which I believe is not far from Bitton. Note: He was a pioneer of early Chromolithographic printing and his graphic work has been compared with that of William Morris and John Ruskin.
