Dear Charll,

I an really delighted for you. 

That was no small price to pay. When I originally saw it, I thought to myself that I would pay £100 for it. Just goes to show how either my pricing is still totally wrong, or that I am just too tight fisted.

If you were to put this in auction how would they describe it? Probably 18th century, or possibly 18th century, or do you think they would simply leave the date out. When they leave the date out I notice they often write 'belonging to various owners'.

Anyway as John Keats wrote. 'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever' and you can treasure it knowing you have at least two admirers.

Kind regards.

paul.
