Dear Sir
Three weeks will be as long as I can well spare the man now working on the restoration of the casts which you have presented to the Institution. To enable him to complete them in that time I ought to send others to assist him and I shall feel great pleasure in calling twice a day to direct the work. My own services will be gratuitous to the Institution but wages should be paid weekly to the workman by the keeper of the Institution. Sir, I have the honour to be yours S Gibson
