One thing I consider necessary for me to know, which Information your letter dos not give, it is the distance these Ornaments are to be seen, as you are well acquainted that the effect will depend on the Boldness of the flour which must be ruled by a knowledge of the hight the roses will be Placed. Should you not have time perhaps Mr Brockinbro will give me that Immediate Information—in the mean time I shall make every Necessary preparation.
