Summary
Summarizing his account for payment due him for 17 drawings, including two he provided to illustrate the poem by Frederick Locker-Lampson, "The russet pitcher" (published in: A Selection from the Works of Frederick Locker. London : Edward Moxon & Co., 1865), and requesting that the recipient send him a check for the amount owed at his present address on Savile Row, as "Savile Row is so much nearer to Dover St. than Maida Hill".
