- Scope and Content:
- Horsely writes that there was much left unsaid at the last General Meeting. He bemoans the "absurdity" at having only one painter and two architects represented in the "selection of artistic worthies" placed within the "niches." He suggests adding in "Turner or[? possibly &] Hogarth." Horsely also appears to take issue with the sculptor[s] chosen for the commission. Horsely writes that the following was freely admitted at the meeting: "the increase of members on the Council is a mistake," "ditto of hangers ditto." Horsely has inserted a small sheet with a postscript. It reads, "I have not seen half enough of the Old Master Exh - If in consequence of 19th century bigotry (!!) an academician is disbarred from entering the rooms of his own academical mansion[?] on Sunday afternoons can you tell me whether he may be permitted to do so early on Monday the 10th before the removing process is advanced?"
