Dear Henry

If you have them at hand send me down No 1 – 3 – & 4 of the Pencil of Nature <1> for Lady Katherine Stewart <2> who was a subscriber to the Sun Pictures <3> It will save you all trouble if you will give them to Wright <4> & tell him to pack them up & send them directed to me here at Clarence Mansion. I am sorry you are not coming, – I thought it would all fade away like the [illegible] fabric of a vision
