Gentlem...
I am sorry to find myself again convicted of culpable negligence, in having left your last beautiful proofs to lay unacknowledged.—As before, excessive occupation, tempered with indisposition is my excuse. The blocks may now be considered quite satisfactory—and I sincerely wish there were a dozen more of my drawings in your hands.
In much haste—
Very truly yours,
J. Noel Paton
Messrs. Dalziel
