Letter to a gentleman, in part: “I believe some time ago I promised I would save two or three young rabbits for your children and I now write to say that they are fit for you to take away; when you were here you talked about having some cages made, but I would wish to tell you that last week I bought the whole of Mr. Aveline’s (of Camberwell) collection of Rabbits, and of course was obliged to take his cages which are very neat but of no use to me, therefore if you have not had any made, I shall be most happy to let you have some.” Mounted to a lightly larger sheet.
