Copy London. Aug 10 1874

Fred
Having been reluctantly obliged
at the meeting of Council on Aug
7 to report that you had on
several occasions lately been
observed by Mr. Pickersgill, Mr.
Eyre, & myself to be in an
unfit state to perform your
duties owing as we could
not fail to perceive to an
over indulgence in drink, I
have now to inform you that
the Council desired me

, Frederick A. Eaton, Secretary, Royal Academy of Arts, Burlington House, Piccadilly, W, London, to Fred

to warn you in its name
emphatically against giving
way to this bad habit, &
to tell you that you will
be dismissed from the
service of the Academy
without warning the very
first time that you
transgress in the same
way again.
Fred. A. Eaton, Sec.
