Content Description

He has been asked by Leslie Thomson to bring the enclosed "eccentricity" of the R.A.'s decision regarding a picture by John P. Peacan to his attention. A copy of the letter from the Secretary says the picture is in an oak frame and must be removed. Peacan's framemaker assures him that there was no oak in the frame. Maybe the decision was delegated to an old porter? He feels they should have another "slogg" at the old subject [of reform of the exhibition].
