| Description | Note dated October 1881 to Macdonald from George Reid, R.S.A., [Aberdeen], thanking for Calderon's 'pleasant note', sending him a letter from Dr. Smiles, and sayding that he is going south the next day, reference to Macdonald's collection of portraits: 'I will only do Painters for you. If you once break through that line there is no end to the business and the collection will get promiscuous. Think of this.' |
