"Turner and Girtin told us they had been employed by Dr. Monro 3 years to draw at his house in the evenings. They went at six and staid til Ten. Girtin drew in outlines and Turner washed in effects. They were chiefly employed in copying the outlines or unfinished drawings of Cozens &c. &c. of which Copies they made finished drawings."
