Content Description
He has received Spielmann's letter and read the article in the Pall Mall Gazette. Although courteous to himself the article is inaccurate and misleading and holds unjustified conjectures on the motives of the Royal Academy, throwing odium on its members. He cannot, as requested, ventilate his personal opinion in the Pall Mall Gazette as the Academy is legislated by the Council and the General Assembly. The matter is more complicated than Spielmann thinks.
