Scope and Content:
"My dear Redgrave, I do not think I should be justified in altering the decision of the last council by offering £100 instead of £120 for the Zoffany picture. Eaton is not here so I cannot at this moment tell you whether the offer has or has not been made for it. If it has not perhaps the whole affair might stand over until the next meeting when you could bring forward your proposal. I know some to the council are strongly in favour of the picture at any price. Yours very truly, Frederick R. Pickersgill"
