- Scope and Content:
- Gibbons has been reading Frances Margaret Redgrave's memoir of her father with whom he was acquainted "more than 40 years ago." Gibbons writes that "several of [Redgrave's] pictures were painted for [his] father or at any rate bought by him and are now in [his] possession." Gibbons lists the paintings as: "The Place Where the Jack Lie," "Fashion's Slaves," "The Guardian Angel," "The Ferry," and "Happy Sheep." Gibbons states he has two other works not by Redgrave, including [Francis] Danby's "Grave of Excommunicated" and another work titled "Slide" [Artist's name illegible]. Gibbons wonders if Frances Margaret Redgrave would like to see the paintings.
