| Description | Dear Horsley,
I believe you are due abotu now so I write a line to see if I can secure the pleasure of your company at dinner on the 17th at 7.45. Your absence prevented me from asking you to join, as I should have wished, the members of your standing whom I have already entertained, but you are of those who refuse to acknowledge years - indeed I look upon you as the youngest man in the Royal Academy. So I hope you will e'en join the juniors over a cutlet at my house on Thursday week. In which hope I remain
Yours very sincerely
Fred Leighton |
