Scope and Content:
"Dear Mr. Redgrave, Will you remember your kind promise to ask you father if he would be good enough to give some commendation to Mr. Lobley's testimonials and […] laid before the council of the R.A. when they come to elect[?] their Curator or whatever the assistant master of the school is called. I believe Mr. Lobley will be found to be a very excellent teacher as I know something of some of his pupils' work & therefore I feel that among the crowd of applicants, no apology is needed in asking Mr. Redgrave kindly to consider his claims. I would have written to your father [...]: but he will hardly know me: perhaps therefore you would kindly forward this to him [...]. Yours sincerely, A. Waterhouse."
