Comment on 13.7.1804

This is a particularly fine quality of soft goatskin. Thorvaldsen may not have brought what she wanted as the request was repeated the following year in a letter from C.F.F. Stanley to Thorvaldsen dated 7.9.1805. It says here that the leather was to be used for shoes.
In a later letter dated 30.8.1805, Anna Maria asks Thorvaldsen to bring her a pair of “English scissors”.
