Summary
Sending her the quotation he has written out, hoping she approves and saying the price is 10/6; adding "Mr. Downing occasionally sends me his catalogues, & though I have only twice been able to afford to buy anything I have naturally always been interested in the addressing of them, for I perceived a real penmanship-love there. Now it may happen that sometimes he comes across old torn MSS, things he does not like to advertise or try to sell. But if from time to time you see such, especially if unilluminated & especially also if of the Italian XV century hands, I should be so obliged if you could let me know. For I try to collect old examples of writing...& might from time to time be able to afford a few shillings. With all good wishes for your script - & his."
