- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin writes that he will achieve a desired effect by "retouching [rather] than rebiting." He requests an impression of the plate in brown and another in grey, as well as the plate, "with a ground all over--for adding--not rebiting." He seems impatient, saying that he will send for the other impressions on the next day, but "I want <emph render="underline">this</emph> with <emph render="underline">all speed</emph> also."
