- Scope and Content:
- "Private" written at top of letter. Bell writes to Redgrave regarding Foley's influence over the Committee [R.A.?] and asks that Redgrave temper this influence. Bell accuses Foley of using "his position in the A of 62 to place his own figures in the most prominent positions." Bell remarks that he and Foley "have met in competition on two occasions only viz in the competition in Westminster Hall for the sculpture in the Houses of Parliament when there were 3 sculptors chosen & we both won, & on the next occasion for the City of London monument to Wellington," which Bell won. Bell wonders if this will "remain on [Foley's] mind."
