| Description | Dear Signor
Many thanks for two notes & your kind increase of subscription for St Pauls. I am delighted to hear of your sale. I was just going to write that I had been to the W.G. and admired your Crane hugely. But that my favorite is the 'sic transit' - so you see you have made a bad guess!
In hot haste
Yours affec
Fred Leighton
P.S. The 'special object' of Council is simply to enter in possession of my portrait, but they will of course await your return. But don't go bedevilling it & having 'field day' on it; if you do I shall have to speak to Mary about you. |
