- Scope and Content:
- Horsely asks Redgrave about the position of secretary of the Royal Academy, wondering if "Knight has returned to his duty or whether Hart is still in office 'for term.'" Horsely "quite dread[s] the return of that chattering J.P.K. [John Prescott Knight]!" Horsely recommends that "we ought really to put a stop to the absurd anomaly of a sec.y without a vote, being forever on his legs trying to influence & sway the meetings..." Horsely continues to discuss potential changes to the Council.
