- Scope and Content:
- Wells is upset to have been summoned to an audit during daylight hours when he is busy trying to get his paintings finished for the Academy exhibition. He asks that Redgrave intervene to change audits to fixed evenings that would not encroach into daylight painting hours. Wells writes that he has given up 17 daylight mornings to his role at the painting schools and he did so "without flinching." He claims that when he accepted the "auditorship" he thought that "artists would select lamp light hours for that kind of work."
