Summary: This page contains two letters. The first discusses the costs and considerations of engraving a portrait, including technique, size, and artist recommendation (Henry Robinson). The second letter, dated August 25th, 1849, from J H Bacon, addresses the design of a postage label and suggests postponing the drawing until a meeting in London.
