Content Description

He agrees regarding the conflicting claims of the painter and professor, although he was sad to hear of Richmond health, hoping that Greece improved it. The statutes state that the lectures need not be written, and the pupil will miss his instruction.

He passes on an observation of Mrs. Gladstone's as to his previous version of the Gladstone portrait and hopes that he will adapt to "popular taste" and paint the new one on a less rugh canvas, with a lighter complexion.
