Book Description
In the first letter (1826 February 24), Britton asks Winston to return a book borrowed from him by Mr. Elliston, which Winston had promised to return 5 months earlier, or else he says Winston should send him 10 shillings, the book's value. The other two letters, both dated 1826 May 24, concern a publication which he and Pugin were working on, probably Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London. In the first of the two letters, Britton informs Winston that Pugin will visit the theater at Drury Lane, with one of his students, to make a drawing of the building's rotunda "for our illustrations." In the second of the two letters, Britton writes that he will send Winston the proofs and plates concerning the theaters in a few days.
