Stating that he has finished Hewett's picture but had much trouble with it because “a cow laying down would not pose for the composition"; as a result of this and other issues, he had to "paint much over the sky, and have alas plagued the whole." Charging Hewett £70 because of these problems, but hoping that he will like it and send him more. Asking him to send for the picture this week. Stating that he will not be able to let him have another drawing yet.
