Summary
Writing in response to a letter asking Balston if he would be will to sell his Staffordshire figurine of The Redan at Sebastapol; explaining that he has "for nearly forty years ... been trying to make my collection of historical figures as complete as possible with a view to presenting it to some national institution" and is therefore unwilling to "part with any pieces which I should have very little hope of replacing."
