- Scope and Content:
- Eastlake discusses the matter of increasing the number of Royal Academy Associate engravers. Eastlake suggests rewording the Academy's rules, so that, "'There shall be another order of numbers not exceeding six in number who shall be called associate engravers of the Royal Academy'" is changed to "There shall be another supernumerary class of members not exceeding six in number consisting of associates to be called associate engravers of the Royal Academy and of Academicians to be called Academician Engravers of the Royal Academy [...] there shall not at any time be more than six engravers in the Royal Academy [...] the number of Academician engravers shall in no case exceed four [...]." Another page continues Eastlake's suggested amendments to the Academy's rules regarding engravers. Eastlake asks Redgrave to share his plan with Mr. Berwick.
