- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin instructs Le Keux on the colours of prints, stating that "the greys won't do so please print Goldau [Plate 50 in Modern Painters IV] in brown." He tells Le Keux to "get on as fast as [he] can." Ruskin says that his latest review of the Appendix was submitted the previous day and that his book will soon be ready for the binder. Ruskin admits that he has only just found out that there was a "Compo[?] Cottage" in London and apologizes for his hastily written letter on foolscap paper. He tells Le Keux that the lettering and numbering for plate 25 [Plate 25 in Modern Painters IV, Things in General] is correct.
