| Description | Letter dated 17 August 1882 to Macdonald from J.C. Hook, R.A., Mullion, Helston, Cornwall, regarding keeping his workplace secret, apologies for not having written, both he and his sons working hard, pleased with Millais portrait, 'I think with [Mrs. Macdonald] that you have gone a bit daft on the portrait gallery subject …I am afraid that to be among the Doers would be a very different matter to resting among the Done I'm no very grand hand at likenesses especially on a small scale'. |
