of my photos here, you will receive them later when I would be happy if you would get it them framed, a nice little frame would set it off well & they are worth while. I travel a long way to get the photos you know & they help to recall delightful memories somehow generally at any rate my tastes lie with the times of long ago & I am grateful that this streak is in my nature. Did you ever get a frame for the Diver photo, I am most anxious over this for I lost the little negative so your photo is the only one I have, get a dark green or Brown frame for it with a dark green/Brown border round the photo. How about that picture of David with the sheep I think it was, "When I consider thy hearers". Did you get it framed as I told you, do not get a light coloured frame have it dark. It is a lovely thing & the setting wonderful, it was quite a trouble to get it, get a little/thin gold streak between the frame & the border round the picture, it requires to be carefuly selected, I do want to learn that they are really being done. Often I wish I could slip home & do them myself.
I have some rubbings from the famous Brasses in the Brightlingsea Church.
