Letter: 1p., 12mo. On letterhead of 12 Sunderland Terrace, London, printed in orange with orange border. Good, on lightly-aged paper. He states that his daughter Nelly (1904-1975) has given him her bookplate block 'to get printed for you'. He quotes prices for 100 and 300 prints, 'only to old friends so please dont tell anyone else!! If you will just let me have a P.C I will get them done in two days.' Nelly has also told him that Mrs Dryhurst's husband Alfred Robert Dryhurst (1859-1949) 'wanted to know my price for a bookplate (but perhaps she got that wrong) anyhow I generally charge £10. for block and 100 copies - But I would willingly reduce this to £7.' He has 'just done one for C. B. Cochran', and will see if he can 'find some examples of my work for you to see'. Proof: on a piece of paper roughly 10 x 7.5 cm, with the dimensions of the image 4.5 x 3.5 cm. Lightly-aged and with slight creasing to margin (not affecting imagfe). It depicts a fantastical mountaintop village, above the letters 'N F D', and is signed 'C' at bottom right.
