Wilson: "It is very unfortunate that you should have accepted my manuscript on Houdon in the first place inasmuch as you now find so much that is wrong with it. Personally, I regret that you should have kept it almost two years before making these discoveries, and I will be very happy indeed to cancel the contract if that is possible."
