The description fitted (that of) James.
The daughter's description of the man very much fitted (that of) James.
1. Would "that of" only be used if refering to someone else's description of James or could it also be used if they (not the daughter) know James and what he looks like?
2. Is "fitted James" natural or would it be more natural to include a preposition between "fitted" and "James"?
3. Would "very much" sound awkward here?
