Content Description

He shall obey Church's instructions and sustitute paraffin wax for the Brecon and Turner bees-wax, as Parry prescribed. He will talk to Roberson, who ground the colours and medium for the two large South Kensington frescoes, and feels it wrong to abandon him for Laurie. He discusses the preparation of a small canvas as a test, and the technique of marouflage.
