- Scope and Content:
- Bell is glad to hear the good news about Townsend [perhaps Henry J. Townsend]. Bell is "grieved" to hear about the death of Esterling and claims his death is a great loss for "the school for he would, in [his] opinion, have become an excellent worker in metal." Bell hopes that Redgrave will not lose any more "scholars by the epidemic." Bell offers his "kind regards" to Deverell. Bell comments that Mr. Sulivan is "taking a house" in Kensington "large enough for all of us" and so Bell will "let his house." Bell is happy that "Cope" is better [possibly Charles West Cope], and would like to "hear of the proceedings" about Cole [Henry Cole]. Bell remarks upon the "prevalence of sickness in Middlesex" which prevents his return, and that Mr. Sulivan will travel to Tweed. Bell has been "exploring" a picturesque river and describes Tomperan as having "enough most varied and charming scenes to supply a Prussian with subjects for his life." Bell hopes that Redgrave has sent "pictures" to Norwich. He remarks that London must be quiet due to the "sickness."
