Content Description

Relating to the plans for the John Constable centenary, 1937. The letter encloses a copy of the report of the Museum Committee of the County Borough of Ipswich, which rejects a proposal that the council organise a memorial exhibition at Ipswich in 1937, on grounds of cost. The writer expresses bitter disappointment at the lack of local interest in the project.
