- Scope and Content:
- Smirke has forwarded his minutes of the Building Committee [discussed in letter of July 1, 1872] to the President for his approval. Smirke remarks upon an issue that presumably came up during the meeting, whereby a RA member was not hired for a particular, unspecified, official position. Smirke writes, "if you do not employ a member there can be but two reasons, either, it must be because there is an abler man out of the RA, or you doubt the strict honesty of one of your colleagues." A note on the back of the letter by Redgrave[?] suggests that this is in regards to the position of an officer of the RA.
