- Scope and Content:
- Horsely visited Dulwich with his uncle yesterday and that they "stopped by a long time in the gallery." He writes that he and his uncle discussed the "Wilkie Affair" and that his uncle "does not intend taking any part at the meeting, nor does he mean to vote." His uncle told Horsely that "he had had an application from Mr Walton the Carlisle man who has made the bas-relief in Threadneedle Street [...] who he (my uncle) thought would likely do better than anybody." Horsely writes that he is "flabbergasted at the size of 'Calm Peace & Quiet,' I always thought it was a companion in size to Bell's 'Mirth & Youthful Jollity,' [...] I have designed accordingly, instead of that it is much smaller & is in a very [...] position in the page like this [sketch]. He writes that Cope called on him.
