Twiss writes further that "he impatiently longs for Sunday to have the pleasure of the Drs. instructive conversation & shall bring with him two sketches of musical instruments the one from an old painting at Bologna, the other from a Basso relievo at Toledo in Spain." The manuscript is accompanied by about 128 pages of the musical scores described in the letter, dated ca. 1769-1773 and variously inscribed.
