The published transcript of this letter can be found in Shirley (No. 52, page 50) and Beckett (page 348). The leaf has been numbered S52, referring to the order in Shirley's publication. A pencil inscription on the top reads ‘? July 1831'. TRANSCRIPT: --- For Mr Lucas Dear Lucas I hope you can continue to get well - I sleep in town tonight & shall be glad to see you in the mrng - can you bring a proof of the ''morning'' - & another of the heath as mine is at Hampd [t/n: Hampstead] - I like much the alteration in the heath - is seeming indeed perfect - perhaps the new work may be a little too dark perhaps from [bur?] -- say if you cannot come & I will come to you - Yrs truly J.C. --- Shirley dates this letter to the second half of April. However, Beckett notes that this letter was written after Constable had moved to Hampstead, 'which is not likely to have been before the end of May'.
