British landscape painter and illustrator Alan Wright [1864-1927] apologizes to author Kineton Parkes for the delay in sending him illustrations for his story. "[I] am sorry to say I have not yet been able to settle upon them. I have had a horrid non working fit, sitting day by day in front of my material with fixed stony stare unable to start a line or when I did so only to end in a miserable failure." He sends Parkes a wash drawing done a long time ago, which he hopes meets with Parkes' approval but plans that the remaining drawings will be pen-and-ink. He would like to accept Parkes' "kind invitation", but mentions money as a problem, his liabilities being twenty pounds and his assets only 30 shillings.
