ABSTRACT
In your late letter you say you shd judge better what marbles out of Lord Besboroughs collection wd best suit, if you know the size, plan and situation of my intended room; it about 37 feet inside diameter, circular, lighted from the top, as the Pantheon ... ; the walls 6 feet thick to get room for 4 large recesses, so as to be able to see round the principal statues; nothing is yet done about it, but on paper except a model in wood just put in hand. In the 4 other smaller recesses I shall place the 4 tables I bt last year at London and placed on them smaller statues etc ....
