Summary
Proposing to come and see him "after lunch", remarking that she "had forgotten all about the Spring Morning book!", and that "I expect that I derived a lot from Bewick; I used to wish so much that I could have been Mrs. Bewick when I was a child", adding that she would rather have been Mrs. Rembrandt, "but that seemed too ambitious"; informing him that she could lend him some books and that she has plenty of prints (Presumably in reference to Balston's desire to borrow materials for his upcoming exhibition on English wood engraving).
