Content Description

Thanking Gibson for agreeing to examine the copy of the head of the Ludovisi Juno, to see that the work was correct, and agreeing with Gibson's recommendation that Vincenzo Votieri be commissioned to produce the copy for £80. Twisleton then makes arrangements for advance payment, and emphasises that, as the work was intended as a present for a relation to whom he was under great obligations, he was willing to pay more than £80 if the very best material were not available for that sum.
