My kindest regards to Mrs Howell[3] -
Owl I want to know at once about the Valparaiso[4] - there is not a moment to be lost - will you send it to me here today - and I will get Foord & Dickinson[5] to make the frame - or will you promise to send it to them direct - and let me know that I may see them about it tonight -
Always
