1835 July Letter, mistakenly dated by Leslie 6th February 1836,<br />

perhaps of February or more likely July, 1835, from J.C. in<br />

London to William Purton: "I am glad you encourage me with<br />

'Stoke'. What say you to a summer morning? July or August,<br />

at eight or nine o'clock, after a slight shower during the<br />

night, to enhance the dews in the shadowed part of the<br />

picture, under 'Hedge row elms and hillocks green.' Then the<br />

plough, cart, horse, gate, cows, donkey, &c are all good<br />

paintable material for the foreground, and the size of the<br />

canvas sufficient to try one's strength, and keep one at full<br />

collar." (JCC V, p. 44)
