- Scope and Content:
- "My Dear Sir, It had been my hope to attend the Seasonal[?] Assembly of the 21st last - but the state of my health at this moment will not, I regret to say, allow me = I know not it is […] my […] intention to open the subject of female students & their paintings[?], but think in my hands that it is capable of modification to the advantage of all parties = as the matter at present stands I fear the Society is just to assault[?] at the hands of any man with inclination and power to damage[?] = on the morning of the distribution of [...] and during the absence of members at the Seasonal[?] assembly, at another part of the building, students, male & female, are admitted to the studios: it is impossible to suppose that the [...] which now presents [...] could find approval in the mind of members generally, whilst in the view of some, would it not be distressing? But from judgement without myself presuming to oppose[?] another expression of my own = of course you will kindly understand that these few lines are strictly private = trusting you are well. Believe me always sincerely yours, George T. Doo."
