- Scope and Content:
- "My dear Redgrave, If you put me in office - however small - you must be patient with my remarks - I am not sorry to have done the duty you imposed on me because I can see thereby the value of the Schools of Design - But there is one thing which puzzles me greatly -- The idea of paging[?] by result - is right - if carried out conscientiously but I cannot help thinking that tracing from outline heads, hands, feet, and [...] is carried out fearfully all I have compared are so alike in very [...] and I see no trace of altered line - this is not the case - as far as I can judge- with the ornamental works - they show weakness and they show strength -- and accordingly I shall value them-- Do try to find out if tracing goes on - it must be just [...] - Yours ever truly Henry O'Neil."
