I should like the mirrors handsome and the frames plain ; the colour of the hangings is green, with rich Chinese figures. On the side of the window I intend to have exactly beneath the glass a plain white side-table of the purest marble, on which to place Chantrey's bust. A truncated pillar of the same marble will be its support; and I think that besides the mirror above there will be a plate of mirror below the table ; these memoranda will enable Baldock to say at what price these points can b...e handsomely accomplished.
