don't like to give Mr. Ellis trouble about so little a thing, and I 
daresay you will be good enough to find time to do it for me; -- I want 
the best accounts that have been given in the papers of a waterspout 
said to have destroyed a town in Hungary: and of the late steamboat 
catastrophe at Woolwich: --buy the back numbers of any paper that give 
details and a little account, for which I will at once remit you post 
order, -- and if you are faring any time soon through the Burlington [?] 
please buy from the nice old lady who keeps the [?] shop near your Bond 
St. end of it, three of her least terrestrial globes-- (about this size 
they are, I think -- for some infinitesimal price! on a tiny stand. 
[Ruskin includes a drawing of the globe here with the remark: "I drew 
too large at first."] and send me these down here at once. Always very 
heartily & gratefully yours JRuskin." Darkening to edges of text; 
soiling and rubbing to covers, heaviest to spine. Very Good. (#021033)
