| Description | Letter dated 15 October 1872 to Macdonald from George Reid, 84 King Street, Aberdeen, with apology for not answering a note that has lain unopened, thanks for arrangements Macdonald has made, explanation of the arrangement with Sir Alexander Anderson over a portrait of his wife, and over a half-length portrait of Sir Alexander for Mr. Edmond [probably Francis Edmond, Advocate], mention possibly of sculpture of Sir Alexander's head for Mr. Brodie, his own doubts about his paintings but his fears of false humility. |
