Dear Henry
My nieces2 have been attempting to draw upon smoked glass, but have not been able to fix in any manner the smoke on the glass.3 I understood you to recommend that varnish should be put over it after it had been smoked, which operation we have been quite unable to effect. You would therefore much oblige me by some further explanation. All attempts have hitherto failed in consequence of the impossibility of keeping an even coat of black.
Caroline & the children 4 are quite well. I cannot boast about myself.
