- Scope and Content:
- Wells complains about the hanging of the Academy[?] Exhibition. He wonders why certain paintings have found their way to be hung on the line, while others have been hung in less favorable positions in opposition to the consensus reached by the council. Wells is happy, however, that Val Prinsep's painting, "The Girl with Pigeons," has been brought back into the exhibition, even though the council had initially rejected it. Wells is upset at the bad treatment of William Blake Richmond. Wells has a "sincere admiration of his work," and is aggrieved that his paintings have been "hoisted" above the line.
