Shirley dates it to March 1830, but Beckett places it towards late 1830. The published transcript of this letter can be found in Shirley (No. 15, page 25 - this, however, excludes a lot of content) and Beckett (page 335). The leaf has been numbered 15, referring to the order in Shirley's publication. Alongside the letter, the envelope also includes a typescript transcript, prepared by former Museum staff. TRANSCRIPT: --- Dear Lucas . I send the things - and pray send me the little West End in return - or any thing else I send the Jaques in a flat - Yet feel assured you will not make a flat of him Enclosed id the broken India proof of the [t/n: 'coast' crossed out] Weymouth which I beg you will send to Mrs Leslie, & with it a proof of the West End for Leslie - and the breaker [t/n: Beckett identifies this as 'A Seabeach'] if you think proper - do this at your leisure !!! I am much pleased at what we are about so far -- only that I fear if we do not mind we shall not have enough of the ''Pastoral'' --- Leslie has not been here & likes much the sketch in a lane which I send for you to look at - as a lovely full subject - rich & novel - & what is better than all ''natural'' It would be a glorious full subject -- Yours J.C --- --- Constable/EL/1/8/MS2-1951 1 accession number Constable/EL/1/8/MS2-1951 110009959 priref 110009959 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110009959 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110009959 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference agent-29619 adlib-agent-29619 ef67fb8d-9a82-3301-9947-b8d0526effb3 Constable, John Length mm 185 Width mm 113 MS Letter, Constable to Lucas object OBJECT
