Summary
Thanking him for sending the Urn Burial drawings; commenting on Wood on the Downs saying "it was 'taken' as people like to say, from a spot near Ivinghoe Beacon in North Bucks. Millions of motorists must have passed the place - it is on the main road on the top of the hill. I have wanted to do something about it for years. The drawing for the painting was made then on the canvas & a separate drawing made with notes on the colours. A storm came on and nearly obliterated the drawing on the canvas which was done partly in water colour. The sketch used to supplement the drawing on the canvas was afterwards coloured & exhibited at Tooth's : Frank Rutter bought it;" discussing, in detail, how it differs from the painting; telling him that he will need some engravings for two upcoming shows and that he will enclose suggestions; enclosing, on a separate sheet, suggestions and measurements.
