- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin tells Heaton it is too wet to send her drawings today. Ruskin has negotiated a vignette for Heaton at 40 guineas and two sketches at "55 each", a little more than Ruskin had expected. Ruskin says he will send a letter with a full account of the negotiations, which he has not posted so as "not to take up [Heaton's] head with business on Sunday.". Ruskin says that if Heaton tells him whether she's going to take the vignette, the drawings will arrive on Tuesday. [Date provided by Surtees: Saturday [January 24th 1857]
