Sir/
In the interview I had with Mr Cowderoy last Monday he said that if I called at 31 Sackville Street I should there find a parcel left with the Butler for me
I called the same evening and saw Mr Wright, who knew nothing of any parcel having been left but promised to write me upon receiving the same. Not having heard from him I fear some error must have occurred and should the parcel contain pictures I should feel the greatest pleasure in receiving them and should exceedingly regret their having been mislaid – In the formation of your projected Establishment I yet hope there may be some situation in which I may be found useful
I remain Sir Your Mt obt St
