Content Description

The letter contains comments on, and directions on how to deal with, a number of grievances that had been put to him by Sir Edwin Landseer, in "a very intemperate letter", relating to a painting at the RA on which Landseer had been working for the exhibition, and which, through dissatisfaction with it, he had wanted to exchange for another. The letter also contains remarks on Eastlake's health, which, he says, had lately been made worse by the affair. With envelope, marked "immediate".
