Scope and Content:
"Dear Sir, the Council for the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts are now arranging their syllabus for the coming session, and I have been designated to ascertain if you will be willing to favour us with a Lecture. If I may be permitted, I would like to suggest as a subject the vehicles used in oil painting, with the course of decay[?]. Knowing how carefully you watch and examine the pictures in your charge, the interest you feel in the study[?] and the opportunities you have. This would be a technical subject but one very interesting and instructional to artists. We shall however be happy to hear you upon any art subject, or, if you are quite unable to oblige us with a Lecture, perhaps you will kindly officiate as chairman at one of our meetings. I have the leave[?] to be dear sir yours sincerely, J.R. Dicksee."
