User-Contributed Transcription trouble about it. The whole matter is decided - there is no alternative but for you to come as quick as possible, as he does not remain here long. It is a rare opportunity. His portraits are said to be more perfect than Mr. Hardy's. Isaac and Eliab have examined them. Sam'l and all say come. Don't let Almeda's work hinder - that can be put off--this cannot. Bring it with you and I will do it. We have not touched the dress for Lucy - there has not been a half hour to spare. Eliab has finished his letter. I really thought he was going to write a good long one - you can see what he says - he seems to expect me to perform his duty for him. You must talk to him. In haste Lucy.
