8. A very pretty elopement please! Finger-post pointing to Scotland--Captain _not_ in uniform of course.
9 or 10--hardly; too close to the elopement which we _must_ have!
12. Might be a very small shallow vignette of the field of Waterloo. I will look up the hours, etc., and send you word.
13. As you please--or any part of this chapter.
16. I mean a tombstone like this [_Sketch of flat-topped tombstone_], very common with us.
21. Please let me try and get you a photo of a handsome old general!! I think I will try for General MacMurdo, an old Indian hero of the most slashing description and great good looks.
22. I thought some comic scene of a gentleman in feather-bed and nightcap with a paper--"Rumours of Invasion" conspicuous--might be vignetted into a corner.
23 might be fine, and go down side of page; quite alone as vignette, or distant indication of Jackanapes looking after or up at him.
24. Should you require military information for any scene here?
25-26. I hope you could see your way to 26. Back view of horses--"Lollo the 2nd" and a screw, Tony lying over his holding on by the neck and trying to get at his own reins from Jackanapes' hand. J.'s head turned to him in full glow of the sunset against which they ride; distant line of dust and "retreat" and curls of smoke.
The next chapter requires perhaps a good deal of "war material" to paint with, and strictly soldier-type faces.
27. The cobbler giving his views might be a good study with an advertisement somewhere of the old "souled and healed cheap."
28. This scene I think you might like, and please on the wall have a hatchment with "Dulce et decorum est pro patriâ mori" (excuse my bad Latinity if I have misquoted).
29 would make a pretty scene, I think, and
30 would make me too happy if you scattered pretty groups and back views of the young people, "the Major" and one together, in one of your perfect bits of rural English summer-time.
If there _were_ to be a small vignette at the end, I should like a wayside Calvary with a shadowy Knight in armour, lance in rest, approaching it from along a long flat road.
Now please (it is nearly post time!) forgive how very badly I have written these probably confusing suggestions. I am not very well, and my head and _thumb_ both fail me.
