| Description | Letter dated 25 May 1882 to Macdonald from J.S. Hodgson, 5 Hill Road, Abbey Road, N.W. London, thanking for canvas which arrived while Hodgson was in Paris, apologising that he will be unable to do the picture for three weeks as he is to visit his son and go fishing with him in the Highlands, he has spoken to the President presumably of the Royal Academy about a self-portrait for Macdonald and he is willing to do it, but Macdonald should write to him directly. |
