To
The Keeper of Royal Academy
F.R.Pickersgill Esq^re R.A.

Sir
We, the undersigned Lady Students of your
Academy; fully recognize & appreciate, the very great
advantages, & opportunities of Study, afforded us.
At the same time we cannot but
feel conscious, that at the present time, one material
want remains, and that without the knowledge,
which the supplying of that want can alone give,
we cannot hope to rise above mediocrity, at any rate
in the highest branch of our Art
We venture therefore, knowing that you
have ever been our true friend, very respectfully
to ask you to take into consideration the practicability
of making, some arrangement, by which we may
be enabled to study from the figure Semi-draped.
If you can make such an arrangement,
we assure you that we shall be very grateful, for the
favour conferred upon us, and that we shall diligently
and conscientiously, avail ourselves of the help thus
given to our striving after excellence.
We are, Sir,
Yours very obediently,

S. Terry
