Dear Henry

The enclosed will satisfy you about the Mirror which I dare say will find its way to you as the Camera did. 2 The specimens you sent last are very pretty particularly the Gate & Cloister. I think if you let them wait (in the dark) a little longer before fixing, or fixed them with a softer brush & lighter hand the outlines would be sharper. Mary 3 arrived quite well.

Why did you not send me the Rhus by Mary? 4
