Summary
The artist writes a friend, Buffalo, from his summer home in England, expressing regrets that he has no free evenings because he must use them to work on “some medals for the government” (Oct. 1, The Abbot’s Grange, Broadway, Worcestershire). The other letter, from Bridgewater, Mass. (n.d.), informs his friend Ticknor that he will not be able to visit before April 25th because he was asked to lecture in Dorchester on the 22nd, and needs time to write the text.
