Content Description
He reels off the contents of package he has just received from them, including a packet of lace for Mr. Dale, who was not impressed by the quality; Mr. Bowles told him that they intend him to go to Mr. Poulter's school, as he is the best crawing master "in that way"; his stay in London is expensive but will hugely improve his drawing for fine lace.
