- Scope and Content:
- "My Dear Redgrave, Since hanging Wilkie etc. I turned to your 'Century of Painters' - you say, therein, that Egg's 'Life and Death of Buckingham' was cut in half - to the best of my recollection the pictures and frame are as they appeared on the RA walls - I have been pestered with abuse for hanging spurious pictures - you know what a Pig-headed old Tory I am - I would have excluded at least twenty pictures had I not been opposed by that fatal demand - 'The pictures have been asked for, and must be hung' - I do not relish my position entailing bad judgement, when I had no power - yours ever, Henry O'Neil"
