- Scope and Content:
- Bayliss thanks Redgrave for the kind reply to his previous letter regarding the reconsideration of his painting being accepted to the Royal Academy Exhibition. Bayliss is distressed about the "shame and vexation [he] has brought upon kind friends like [Redgrave] by failing so utterly in [his] work" but claims that his failure is not due to "neglect or idleness." Bayliss comments on the time and labour spent on the painting, painted "on the spot," and admits to "have no genius like the multitude of young painters who dash in great pictures in a week or two." Bayliss mentions a friend who recommended he write to Redgrave and reiterates his appreciation of Redgrave's "kind expressions of sympathy."
