Many - very many - beleive we are both at a non plus - but I care for nothing if you are better in health. for that will fi you for greater doings - Yours most truly John Constable 3d Sepr, 1831, Charlotte St. --- The reference of Lucas being away, according to Beckett, relates to a short holiday he took before getting on with the printing.
