Princess Elizabeth has received an answer by a private hand concerning the Wicker work and as there is a difficulty started, she wishes to consult with Mr Wyatt about it.
The Man says that it is out of his power to make the pannels so broad as is wished, as the Oziers run thick at one end & very thin towards the other therefore it is impossible without some contrivance for the centre to manage the fastening of the Rods, which Her Majesty thinks Mr Wyatt will [think] best in there - some Idea's have been thought of & if Mr Wyatt could call at the Queens House by ten oClock to morrow morning Pss Elizabeth will tell him what has been thought of as all must depend on the frame which the Man who undertakes it says he must have prepared for him -
