Summary
Concerning his progress on his series of books on picturesque antiquities, particularly his latest volume on the history Bristol Cathedral, which he hopes to have completed by Christmas, and his Picturesque antiquities of Chester, for which he has encountered some difficulty in obtaining drawings ("Mr. Pyne visited the city this last summer, & has brought home several sketches, but not such as will answer my purpose.
