The first half of this letter came to the Museum in 1910 as part of a separate donation and can be found here - Constable/EL/1/1/9. TRANSCRIPT: --- <recto> I want proofs of the Water Mill printed as I have not seen it in its present state. I may be disappointed with it as with the Summerland. Do not neglect the Wood - as I am almost in want of the picture. 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. <verso> Come early tomorrow evening, and bring what you can - & an account of the state of the next - I am nervous & anxious about them. I have made the upright windmill* quite perfect. [t/n: the following address is written in the centre of the leaf] To, Mr David Lucas 57. Harrow Road corner of Hermatage Street Paddington Green I should like the book to consist of eight. Pray tell the ''writer'' not to compleat his sketch of the title - I have made another. Yours truly John Constable --- *Beckett identifies this as 'A Mill near Brighton'.
