- Scope and Content:
- Bayliss inquires about his painting, Interior of St. Mark's Venice [now in the collection of Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery], which was not accepted to the Royal Academy exhibition. He begs Redgrave to reconsider its acceptance, mentioning he had a painting hung on the line once before. Bayliss reminds Redgrave of his previous kindness when Bayliss was his student and Bayliss had fallen ill. Bayliss attributes his previous Academy success to Redgrave's intervention, writing "is it so surprising that in my trouble now I should remember your kindness and turn to you with the hope that you will be able to help me & with the certainty that you will forgive me."
