Content Description

Gilbert has been too ill to call upon Fry since the termination of his Academy lectures. He is staying there for a few days with his son George, prior to leaving for Bruges. He has nothing for the Academy, yet is expected to send something. Could Fry lend him the wax model he has? He knows it is an unfinished work, but could do much to it in the next few days, and would exhibit under glass.
