Summary
Informing him that the framers have finished framing 2 drawings ("and I think very satisfactorily"), and are preparing a case to ship them in; expressing his gratification "that these Drawings should be in thy possession"; adding that he has "several copies [of] proofs & prints of the Bell Rock Plate" (i.e. a reference to Miller's 1862 engraving after J.M.W. Turner of The Bell Rock Lighthouse), should any of Spence's acquaintance wish to possess a copy.
