private My dear I want to ask you truly may I send you more £.S.D. for unless Ld W.1 has been able to supplement the first payment of the Cophetua2 since we left I know it is a long time since that was made, and you have not been completing or disposing of any important work since then and you know you hesitate to let me know and be of use, and it is quite convenient and such a pleasure may think only of making beautiful work. So if you just say 'yes9 1 shall have it sent. Ever Yours affy W.G. 1 Lord Wharncliffe. 2 Tate Gallery 1771: see B25.
