  <dc:title>Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from J.C. Hook, R.A., [June/July 1872]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Letter dated June/July 1872 to Macdonald from J.C. Hook, R.A., Collieston, Aberdeenshire, with account of painting near Collieston and being soaked by spray, fortified by landlady's cooking and receipt of a fruit hamper from Macdonald: 'The sea I was getting in this morning will not be the only one which was painted as much with sea water as oil … My great Bête noir the intelligent Tourist does not come here so that I work with pleasure, the Wives, and the children who are legion certainly are a trouble but they soon tire of peeping'.</dc:description>
