Summary
Mentioning that he is going to Birmingham and giving his address there; telling him he would like to work for Dalziel [the Dalziel Brothers, engravers]: "I should so much like to get some work of the kind that my views would be quite humble about pay"; noting that his wife and child are "somewhere in the north of England or they would keel with [him] in a graceful tableau at the feet of their benefactor [Hunt]"; asking if Hunt will "speak also for Val" [Valentine Cameron Prinsep] because their "blocks would harmonize & create some sensation."
