ABSTRACT
In transcribing the following unpublished material, my aim is simply to make my own research material available to the interested reader. Because I am interested in Ruskin’s self-construction and relationship-building within this composite text, it is important to capture, as nearly as possible, what he wrote in the exact way that he wrote it, preserving the idiosyncrasies. While typed versions of hand-written letters must necessarily alter the originals' appearance, it is still possible to indicate it descriptively. I have attempted to reconstruct the original without excessive annotation. The notes are intended to give basic points of explanation.
