- Scope and Content:
- Smirke apologizes for having taken so long to write, citing a "terrible family bereavement" as the reason. Smirke inquires about the project to "rearrange" Burlington House and recommends there only be living accommodations for one officer--the Registrar--rather than two officers. Smirke cites the "impossibility of providing handsome, gentlemanly residence without making serious encroachment on the main, academical portion of the building" as the reason for having only one residence. Smirke asks Cope to discuss the matter with Redgrave.
