- Scope and Content:
- "Dear Redgrave, A few days before I left Town, Cole wished me to consider in what way I could best give my assistance to the School of Design in reference to a special class of modelling. This idea had connection with a self supporting system which however he saw as well as myself could not be wholly acted on. Art education in general and the production of its practical work[?] is manifested [...] in the path that is agreeable to me and I should be most happy to be a fellow labourer in the School of Design. But there is a point on which I am [...] especially anxious, that I should not in any way hurt Townsend's position & that any association of myself[?] with the school should be agreeable to all the honest and active workers in it. Of course I do not wish this to go further than yourself & Cole who of course act together. But I should be glad to hear your opinion about it and that if you have a prudent opportunity you could try & find out Townsend's also. Do not let me however induce you to do more than you like. Believe me Dear Redgrave yours faithfully."
