Content Summary: He has had a letter from Mr Reid asking for the costume Irving had lent him. Irving will see from the photograph that he had completed the sketch for the Royal Exchange but the Corporation had kept it for three months. Can he keep the dress any longer or have it copied as he is only just beginning the large painting. He was glad to hear that Irving was making good progress when he called to enquire, and would like to see him. He is sorry the accident occurred when it did as Irving's Richard was so fine, but Mr Durham told him it saved Irving an illness since he was much overwrought.
