- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin says he will not use Le Keux's double plate of rocks [Plate 32, Aiguille Drawing, in Modern Painters IV] until the next volume of Modern Painters but asks that Le Keux finish the "little long one" as fast as he possibly can and send it to "Mr. Armytage" [James Charles Armytage] to be lettered. Ruskin sketches the "little long one" [sketch measures 1.5 x 6.2 cm; appears to be Plate 13, First Mountain Naturalism, in Modern Painters Vol. III].
