A line in greater haste than usual!
Just to tell you that all the proofs you requ for framing have been posted - Parcels Post - You should have them the first thing in the morning -
I sat up ever so late last night completing them - They should have a few hours in the press - or some of them perhaps, before they [p. 2] go in their frames -
I will send you list by Sundays post -
Pennells[3] Preface - I have here - tell him I have been run into the corner with all the rest of it - but it is all right - He shall have it at once -
Many thanks for doing as I asked you about my little note -
You shall have it back - & I should like to see that book[4] you tell me of[5] -
Always sincerely
[butterfly signature]
I suppose Dunthorn[6] has had his letter - I registered it & should think you might hear something about it[7] ? !
