- Scope and Content:
- Horsley writes of a trip to Penrith and Scotland. Horsley writes that, en route, he read the statement about Thomas Armstrong [newly appointed as director of Art at South Kensington]. Horsley writes that he thought, like Redgrave, it "must be a hoax." Horsley writes that an artist he spoke to in Edinburgh, [Robert] Herdman, had said that "he was sure not one artist in Scotland had heard of [Armstrong]." Horsley writes that "the last word on the matter has not been said or written [...] yet!" In a postscript, written on a separate sheet, Horsley directs Redgrave to an article in the journal "Truth" regarding events at South Kensington.
