Summary
A humorous letter evidently in response to a bill or statement; i.e. "I will pay the earliest attention I possibly can to the odd figures of your note (such figures to an artist's eye are always sadly 'out of drawing'-) What a pity everybody in early youth is not drilled in the study of the Antique - all would then see the grace and charm of such simple figures as these - 00000 - and be disgusted with such contortions & distortions as these - 5236789! ...".
