Content Description

Marked "private". Refers to a cutting relating to Sir Alfred Gilbert, called 'Truth'. The content of the cutting appears substantially correct, though the facts are worse. He and Leicester have given up the whole affair, Gilbert is "nothing better than a thief". His presence in the ranks of the Royal Academy does it no credit.
