Content Description

Asking Middleton Todd if he could do a portrait of his senior partner, Charles Micklem, who was about to retire from their firm. The writer possessed two pastel studies by Middleton Todd, which he prized very highly. The letter encloses the draft reply, dated 5 May 1954, in which Middleton Todd explains he was unable to undertake any further commissions at that time because he had a number of portraits on hand.
