And I doubt not the last parcel will also - will you forward me your account -up to the present number; and can you send me a short list of all the localities, merely from number to number. 200- 230- Cos, or Neapolis - or whatever it may be - 230- 245...faithfully J Ruskin',2) ‘Broadlands, Romsey 25th Oct 1879 ['1879' added in pencil], Dear Mr. Tallack, Your papers are all ably and temperately drawn up - but I have no hope of your ever being of true use as long as your Society retains the entirely spurious trust in its own wishy washy hermeneutics, instead of believing God's prophets in their own plain words, Ever truly yours J Ruskin’,3) ‘20th Nov 1860, My dear Sir, When I went abroad this summer I ordered no letters on business to be forwarded to me. I could not therefore reply to your favour of the 19th June. I am now looking over arrears, and am sorry this letter has remained unanswered. But I intend to give no more lectures in the north. I have nothing to bring me northwards in my general work - and shall probably in future stir little even from London - except for rest. Very truly yours, J Ruskin’,4) ‘8th Oct, Dear Sir I am very sorry - but shall be unable to lecture for some months yet - I don't exactly know how long…J Ruskin’,5) ‘Corpus Christi College, Oxford, 14th Nov, Sir, I am sorry for the delay in answer – Often my letters necessarily go for weeks unopened. The price of Fors is ten shillings a year, and I enclose my publishers address, Faithfully yours J Ruskin’,6) ‘Brantwood, Coniston. 27th January 73 Sir, In looking over last year’s letters I found one from you which I fear received no answer. I was not in town – and scarcely seeing my letters at the time – or I should gladly have looked at the picture you speak of Truly, Yours J Ruskin’,7) ‘Brantwood, Coniston, Lancashire 26th Dec. 81 My dear Madam, I am grateful for your letter and memory: but have always so much more correspondence at Xmas than I am able for, that I must pray you to pardon this brief acknowledgement, Ever your faithful Servant J Ruskin’,8) ‘Brantwood, Coniston, Lancashire, 26th Dec. 81 Mr dear Madam, I am grateful for your letter and memory: but have always so much more correspondence at Xmas than I am able for, that I must pray you to pardon this brief acknowledgement, Ever your faithful Servant J Ruskn’,9) ‘Wednesday, Dear Mrs Hewitt, I have not forgotten you but things have happened to keep me from sending ‐ The wine will come tomorrow, Ever affectionately yours J Ruskin’,10) ‘Corpus Christi College, Oxford, 11 March 76, My dear Madam, You are perfectly welcome to make any use of these letters of mine – though I wrote myself that Mrs Blackburn kept them – they seem to me very stupid & careless. Was I writing now, I should be more sparing of words. Believe me, Always faithfully yours J Ruskin’,11) ‘Brantwood, 27th Dec. My dear Sir, I have your obliging note – and duly observable directions – The codicil is excellently done – You have reviewed the Will itself I suppose – am I to return you the codicil to be fastened to it – or are they merely to be kept together, Truly yours J Ruskin’, and12) an envelope addressed to Mrs Hibbert, 20 Earl View, Preston, postmarked AMBLESIDE 26 DEC 81 (12)
