Content Description
He thanks Lawrence for his kind words and looks back over forty years of efforts to rid patrons of prejudice against the British School; he is appalled at the lack of support shown by British patrons to the formation of a collection for the
National Gallery and mutters darkly at the "evil" actions of an un-named enemy.
