The colours are few, and simple. \/ I send also a drawing of one of the heads and part of \/ a nimbus and wing, with tesserae arranged in the way \/ I feel the mosaic should be executed - if the \/ workmen had this set up before them I believe it \/ would help them -- they would soon fall into the \/ way of designing the flow of the lines, and although at \/ first the work might go slowly, and prove even costley \/ I believe you would not regret it.
