Provenance
Gordon N. Ray.
Summary
Ruskin says that his work has taken on--as work generally does--double the time that he expected. (We must get new modes of calculation.) He has been two months and a half at, it and it is not half done. He is certainly coming to Newcastle in April but cannot leave his Turner work before then.
