Content Description

Orpen has had no reply to his letter of a few days ago. He repeats the gist of it: he conceived his painting "the Chef" ['Le Chef de L'Hotel Chatham, Paris'] in Paris; would the picture be accepted by the RA as his diploma work?; would they prefer to burn it? The letter includes a sketch of a lamb.
