CD will have to make heavy corrections in Expression and Descent if there ever is a new edition of either.

Sends CD an account that has the novelty of having a balance against CD.
Acknowledges CD’s cheque.
Sends CD cheque for profits on Orchids and a statement of stock on hand of CD’s works [missing].
