Letter from J.M.W. Turner to William Miller regarding printing.Inscription
47 Queen Anne StreetJune 24 1842
Dear Sir
I have now nearly done all I have to do before I part for my trip so making all haste possible to get your plate finished first and foremost.
Let me know as soon as you can and ask your Printer whether he will print 500 Grand Eagle - Eagle - or Columbia - India and Plain for (paper included)". Note every proof to be No. and marked by him when taking off and all failing in so doing to be rendered unsaleable by marking * but not charged - ? What time the 500 will take printing and all sent to me or in London - and if the numbering incorrect - what discounts?
Your answer as soon as possible - or at your earliest convenience will oblige.
Yours truly
JMW Turner
