Dear Signor
Your letter has been duly forwarded to Mr Barlow (Thos O) who lives Auburn Lodge, St Albans Road, Victoria Road, Kensington. I shall be charmed to hear of the dodges you have been devising in your rural retreat. Of course you will practically modify in many respects the method we talked over the other day. No artist with a stamp of his own can adopt entirely unchanged the procedures of another - different results require different means. The happy years in which one believed implicitly in panaceas are no longer ours I am afraid my dear Signor; those days of enviable intolerant conviction don't reach much beyond our teens.
I hope when you come to town we may rub our brains together to our mutual benefit - certainly to mine.
Many things to Mr & Mrs Prinsep and to Alice from dear Signor.
Yours very truly
Fred Leighton
