- Scope and Content:
- Bell describes the landscape of Breconshire and remarks that the "scenery" is "full of subjects from [Redgrave's] palette." Bell is working on two lectures "of a popular character on sculpture," and asks if they would be appropriate to give "at the Dept." Bell inquires after the "Flaxman addition" and hopes that "Brucciani is already engaged in moulding the Michael & Satan" [Referring to a cast] At the bottom of the letter, Redgrave has written a note to Henry Cole, inquiring about the suitability of Bell's lectures. He comments "The sculpture lecture by W- last year was not what I expected." Cole replies in red: "'yes' but the time of delivery cannot be fixed at present."
