To I. N. Robinson: “Pray accept my best thanks for the trouble you have taken to solve the question of my friend Mr. Cotton. I had not the last idea that I was asking so much of your nature for my memory would not serve me to recall more than half a dozen Sir Joshuas, and, it appears there are no less than twentyseven! Mr. Cotton will now be satisfied I trust. My sisters inform me that you will be coming to Town about the end of this month [...] we will do our best to make you comfortable - I may mention that we can prepare a dressing room to the Bedroom you have [...]”.
With small traces of former mounting.
