TRANSCRIPT: --- <recto> Dear Lucas Let me have your new direction* as soon as possible - I am very unfortunate in having just got all my proofs ready - as your own confusion commences - I dare say You cannot be able to work for weeks - nay more- but my usual curse strikes to me in all things that belong to myself - I have got a subscriber to the Lapland scenery - if Mr Price** like our [?] - I shall see you. P.S. Perhaps we shall never see much more of each other You You are going in the Chelsea Bogs - they are sadly unwholesome - but you will say or atleast we may both say - happy - very happy - would it have been for both of us - had we never met - in all our lives - at least so we both agreed on monday. J.C. <verso/cover> Mr Lucas - 57. corner of Hermatage St Harrow Road. --- *Lucas was to move house from Paddington to 27 Westbourne Street, Pimlico. The remainder of his prints are issued from his new address. **Possibly Edward Price, from whose drawings the engravings were made.
