Has received no answer to questions in his previous letter about restoration of Breadalbane's picture frames; he cannot proceed with the work until his questions are answered, and, with no work being done, he has difficulty in continuing to get money from Signor French.

Troubled times in Italy at present will give few opportunities for making purchases, but he has found a little picture of the Rest in Egypt, `il riposo in Egitto' by Albano [Francesco Albano], which was a composition and execution of much grace and elegance; it is owned by Pagliardi in the Piazza of Santa Maria Novella, who is willing to sell it for 100 francs; recommends purchase of this picture.
