Content Description

She sends a copy of a letter by Alfred Gilbert to the Pall Mall Gazette for her book. He offers Gilbert a copy of the Queen Victoria medal, as she tell's him that Gilbert regards this as the best work he ever completed. He utterly agrees with the contents of the Duchess of Rutland's letter to The Times, regarding the proposed move [of 'Eros'], but will not write publicly himself, just yet. He has found press cuttings from 1888 where Rodin pours praise on the Queen Victoria memorial.

He includes a copy of the letter by Gilbert regarding a press report of his refusal of the Medaille d'Honneur.
