Dear Dalziel,
At last I have finished "The Pearl of great price"—you will at once see there is a tremendous lot of work in it., & I have put a little more white in parts than perhaps is good,—but I could not help it, as I require to alter a good deal. I know very well you will give it all your attention & after all that you have done I feel sure it will be rendered a facsimile = the head of Lucy Roberts is just what I wanted which is very fortunate as I could not suggest alterations—
