| Description | Letter dated 8 February 1884 to Macdonald from J.S. Hodgson, [10 Hill Road, Abbey Road, N.W. London], regarding meeting with Mr. Spindler and his son, who is very clever and whom Hodgson will take under his wing: 'You say that Spindler has lots of money - which is I think a pity - I always think that an artist who begins well off, does not develop in the right way, he either gets too high faluting or else he does not work hard enough', almost finished Armstead's portrait. |
