Scope and Content:
James Fahey thanks Redgrave for his kindness and outlines the situation of his daughter, whom he would like to help to pursue art as her husband's position in the consular service is tenuous and "she may need it to supplant herself." Fahey thanks Redgrave for providing information about "the international" [possibly the London International Exhibition of 1873]. Fahey describes a mix-up regarding the framing of works. He mentions that a replica of "the Barrow" was destroyed in a fire.
