- Scope and Content:
- Sent from The Athenaeum in Pall Mall. Writes that he is concerned that Calderon was too ill to come to Dulwich. Discusses a small portrait chosen for "353" and differences between Calderon's and his own point of view. Asks if Calderon has someone in mind for a particular painting for the Exchange--this is likely referring to what would be Leighton's 1894-5 mural for the Royal Exchange, "Phonecians Bartering with Ancient Britons." Leighton states that he is leaving for "Bayreuth" soon, but will be back. Asks if Calderon can "lend [him] a clever youngster..." to help do preliminary work on the mural.
