Scope and Content:
A brief message in a rather buoyant tone. Ruskin writes Lupton to tell him that "all's right," however he has forgotten the proofs and does not have time for them on this day. He declares, "I have been going larking, like you, and not minding any of my business." Ruskin promises that he will be back to work and dealing with the proofs the next day.
