(15 @ £2. 2. 0. £31. 10. 0 less 15%. £4. 14. 6 being 26. 15. 6).

The new one you send I like very much & I have added it to my "permanent collection"

I am sorry you have sent 3 wrong ones[.] I wanted the figure with the Harp shape[2] & of which I inclose [sic] rough sketch [p. 2] you might kindly send them to me & I shall return the others either to Paris or London as you may request.
