Content Description

He is perturbed by Miss McAllister's letter. She has already ruined several models by Gilbert in an attempt to sell them and has been rebuked by Goscombe John and the Keeper of the South Kensington Museum. Most of the models she has are only suitable for a museum. Mr. Keith thinks that her services should be dispensed with.

He went to speak with Reid Dick and was very frank with him. Dick immediately volunteered to resign the commission, but after due consideration Toft wrote to say not to bother.
