- Scope and Content:
- Hook sends Redgrave a pottery design [not included] and asks Redgrave to show it to a Mr Wright to give to the potter at a Mr Evelyn's kilns. Hook's letter is jovial in tone and he suggests that his design "will make a 'neat artick.'" He continues, "now don't you try it and send it to the School of Design to be 'Shoved into all the shop winders.'" Hook includes a mock registration number and official seal for the "jug" design--not included with this letter. (It is unclear as to whether the allusion to the design is in earnest.) A postscript notes that Hook will not be able to visit Redgrave again that summer.
