Dear Sir
The Large Statue to arrive on the 16th next month will travel under my charge on par as delivery to Railway Co is concerned and haulage in Cambridge.
Insurance need not exceed over £20-, cover for possible damage on the rail— not frequent. With regard to the bust can you arrange for it to arrive with the statue? Can you set a pedestal for its location?
I should thereby avoid expense of Case and Carriage as I should stuff it under the chair of the statue.
The bust is my best portrait. Insurance is £10—.
The miniature, arrives here to-day that and the medallions will arrive in Cambridge as requested.
[1v]
These latter hardly can be damaged or lost; value statuette as you like, medallion at £10-0-0.
Yours very truly
Horace Montford.
A.E. Shipley, Esq.
