- Scope and Content:
- "Dear Sir, I have for some years back wished to make a confession of a matter which has lain heavy on my mind. When, long ago, there were in abeyance some changes in your direction of our Schools of Design--I happened to call on Mr. Deverell --and speaking of Design he said to me 'If you wish to have to do with us you should ['have' crossed out] write against our system: I immediately went to look at the Schools, and, to my confusion, was received most courteously by the Master who showed me every thing--I hardly knew what to say--I did--when I was going away mutter something about my intentions--but I felt that I should, at the very first, have distinctly declared for what hostile purpose I had come--I recollect wishing to turn back but that would hardly have done after having obtained wht I had so unhandsomely learned. Some four or five years ago I wrote this sort of letter for the Master who had received me so well, but I sent it to the wrong person for I could not recollect whether he was Mr. Buschett or Mr. Burgess: since that time I have done nothing but feel [?] at the recollection. Might I now as you to make this known to him and in sofar ease my mind? Your's dear sir, most obediently, John Zephaniah Bell
