Summary
Telling Turner about his visits to galleries and museums; writing that he has seen Arthur Marsh (perhaps the painter Arthur Hardwick Marsh) and that he will dine with "Irving" tonight; mentioning that he has "found a pretty model & talked to her; -- mighty nice"; promising to look Turner up next week "& we will talk things over; some to me have been very jolly, & others very unsatisfactory."
