Watts, R.A., Little Holland House, Kensington, thanking Macdonald for his interest in purchasing a painting but stating that his inability to visit the gallery makes the matter difficult, suggesting that Macdonald deputes a friend to select a painting for him, and remarking on his own desire 'to leave behind me works of a more important character'. |
