Lieber Mac[3] -
I am going to trouble you in quite a new way! -
A great and devoted friend is most anxious that George McCullough[4] should obtain the Curatorship at the Royal Academy - It appears that this is the moment for candidates being voted for - and the McCullough is in every way [p. 2] efficient and proper for the post -
If you were to say a word to some of the right people, he might possibly get it - indeed doubtless anyone would be very glad to know who to vote for! -
When are you going to look in? -
Always -
