Content Description

He has told Abbey about her meeting with Mr. Collin & Mr. Barrett. Barrett, says Abbey, is a "tolerable landscape painter" and a member of the The Arts Club. The Arts is "the" Club in London, the RAs belong as a matter of course.

He has been staying with the Abbey's but now has lodgings in Fairford. Working with Abbey is teaching him a great deal, which he hopes to put to great use on King Lear. He speaks of readying exhibits for the Royal Academy. Mr. Abbey knows every celebrity, many personally.
