I may be disappointed with it as with the Summerland.\n      Do not neglect the Wood - as I am almost in want of the picture.\n      Bring me another large Castle or two or three - for it is mighty fine - though it looks as if all the chimney sweepers in Christendom had been at work on it, & thrown their soot bags up in the air. Yet every body likes it - but I should recollect that none but the elect see my things - I have no doubt the world despises them. \n\n<verso>\n      Come early tomorrow evening, and bring what you can - & an account of the state of the next - I am nervous & anxious about them.\n      I have made the upright windmill* quite perfect.\n\n[t\/n: the following address is written in the centre of the leaf]\nTo,\n     Mr David Lucas\n   57. Harrow Road\n         corner of Hermatage Street\n               Paddington Green\n\n      I should like the book to consist of eight.
