- Scope and Content:
- "My Dear Redgrave-- I have […] that nothing will tempt me from my shop, but R.A. General Meetings, this side of April -- This is one of the 'extreme measures' I referred to as being absolutely necessary to enable me to finish my work for the Exh. In writing to Millais to decline (which I did with infinite regret) coming[?] to him on Tuesday I begged him to take an opportunity of having a chat with you about your proposition, to encourage[?] him to do it -- walked home with him (or rather he walked home with me) after our last meeting & he said he should make a point now of being present at every Gt Assembly[?] -- I hope he'll keep to this intention! No summons yet! -- The council seem to be taking their work uncommon[?] [...]!-- Tell that awful & terrific bully, our esteemed E.C. Sec.y that I shall never forget his [...] my life out long before Xmas last, as if I was the only etching defaulter, & here we are in March & several etchings not done yet!! Haden will hand over my plates & some proofs from his '[...]' which will show what the printing should be."
