T. Putt, Corpus College, to Ozias Humphry
He has ben unable to meet with
Mr. de Cort as the pains he suffered while in London have continued and increased. He has informed his cousin of where to contact de Cort, incasse he can employ him. He regrets his immobility as he hoped to suggest spots from which the artist could work, he wishes for a view of Combe, though avoiding the "depravities of ancient art". He thinks that adding his uncle in a nightcap, surrounded by pigs and other animals would serve the subject. Guard has set off for Honiton.
