| Description | Letter to Edward Linley Sambourne, artist, from Sir Alfred Gilbert, RA, sculptor, saying he has been so busy of late that he has forgotten whether he has acknowledged his invitation for that evening, he is completely knocked over having just heard in the past few hours of the vandalism inflicted on his statue at Piccadilly Circus [Eros], and therefore feels fit only for solitude or bed.
