My notes tread upon each other's heels. In my last I quite forgot
business.
Will you, for No. 49, do the locksmith's house, which was described in
No. 48? I mean the outside. If you can, without hurting the effect, shut
up the shop as though it were night, so much the better. Should you want
a figure, an ancient watchman in or out of his box, very sleepy, will be
just the thing for me.
I have written to Chapman and requested him to send you a block of a
long shape, so that the house may come upright as it were.
Faithfully ever.
