- Scope and Content:
- Cooke thanks Redgrave for his letter. Cooke is bereaved at the death of his "little girl which took place on the 11th last." Cooke has "barely touched a brush since [he] saw [Redgrave] from weakness of sight and trouble of mind." Cooke describes his daughter's illness and writes that he and his wife will visit Dover when the weather improves. Cooke regrets to hear that Mrs. Cope has been unwell. Cooke would like to see Redgrave as he has "something to show [him] that [he] is sure [Redgrave] will like... [his] Fern house & palms & orchidious plants." Cooke thinks Redgrave should "have a Fernery...it has been a great amusement to [Cooke] lately whilst unable to paint."
