- Scope and Content:
- O'Neil understands Redgrave's objections, but O'Neil thinks that "people who have not been asked for their pictures are not to take advantage of their works being hung as a sort of verification." He complains that the best pictures come in at the last moment. Today he received "7 Wilkie's and five Constables from [...] Ellis." He adds that " two more of the latter [Constable]" are promised for tomorrow. O'Neil is disappointed in the works by Cotman[?]. In a postscript O'Neil states that he "cannot compliment Rowler[?] on his hanging." He gives the example of the placement of Dudley's "Shipping on the Thames" at the top of the room as an example of bad hanging.
