Content Description

Draft letter in which Gibson accepts the commission to produce a statue [of Kirkman Finlay], but explains that he would not be in England for twelve months after April and then only for two or three months, when he would have other commissions on his hands. He gives a price for sending a seven foot statue with pedestal to the port of Glasgow: £1,350.
