TRANSCRIPT: --- For Mr David Lucas 57. Harrow Road Paddington corner of Hermatage Street [t/n: the following titles* are written at right angles to the above address] Jumping Horse } White Horse } Long. Vale Flatford Mill Stonehenge Salisbury from the [hay?] Jaques - Dear Lucas I shall be here tomorrow Evg at 8 . or about to sleep & go to Suffolk on thursday - to attend the last scene of poor John Dunthorne - but he ''fought a good fight'' and must have left the World with as few regrets as any man of his age I ever mett with - his poor father has been here today - is gone back - he is entirely broken hearted - he was so proud of him and well he might be so. Do not cutt the plate of the New Sarum - yet - I have touch another proof to dry and it looks so well I think you may like it -& perhaps we may adopt it. I did it in seeing poor J Dunthorne's rainbow this morning. Will you remember to see for the Old Sarum on English paper - to make that sett good. and also those of the four setts in colors - surely it will be right to print some more Indias - we will talk about it - if We can avoid a new plate so much the better /perhaps/ - but they liked the Stonehenge - I mean Leslie and Lardner - the gentleman who lectured on it [t/n: word deleted] try to prove it it antideluvian - & the arguments are as good towards its development - befor as after the flood - for nothing is known - still the thing was ingenious - Yours truly John Constable 6 Nover 32 Charlotte St. --- *Shirley suggests that this list of titles was perhaps intended for the 'Appendix'.
