Summary
Explaining that he has not written sooner as he had hoped to consult with his friend [John] Sheringham as "the fittest person to give the requested information" before doing so; further explaining that Sheringham did not come for a recent planned visit with Cruikshank, but that he hopes to see him upon returning home by the middle of next week, after which Cruikshank will "take care to supply you immediately with the necessary particulars to lay before the Building Committee"; adding that he would like to send Barrett's daughters "two little books" inscribed with their names, which he has forgotten, and asking that he write back soon with the information.
