She begins: 'I felt much gratified by yr. kind attention to my request, with regard to my lithographs; I should have sent you 2 or 3 more copies immediately, had I had them by me, in the hope that you might be able to part with them, before the season at Southwold was quite over, - I now take the liberty of charging you with 2 more copies'.
