POYNTER
(Sir Edward J., 1836-1919, Painter, President of the Royal Academy)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Kay-Shuttleworth
saying he has received her letter "and ought to have replied to it long ago but I became very busy organising our Winter Exhibition which involves a good deal of correspondence & much work at the Academy - I am glad you are able to report well of the progress of the association. The money difficulty has always seemed to me a serious one as so large a sum is required to carry out the scheme. I think you will think me very remiss in not contributing, but the fact is that I am obliged to confirm my subscriptions to such small sums as I can afford in very urgent cases, as the income tax is so heavy a burden on professional men that all my spare money is absorbed in meeting its excessive demands & I must leave any donation to the association to better times if they ever come ...", 2 sides 8vo., 70 Addison Road headed paper, 5th June

PUGIN
(Augustus Charles, 1762-1832, Anglo-French Artist, Architectural Draughtsman and writer on Medieval Architecture)
Autograph Letter signed to J. B. Neale
about the progress of a sketch, "Being able now to ascertain the time your drawing of Hy 7th Chapel will take in finishing I think it proper to inform you that if I was to charge you by time it would amount to 15 guineas but considering it is too high I intend to charge you 10 guineas, half to be paid on delivery of the drawing the other to go to accounts. I should have left the whole to go to account but having been obliged to put aside other things I find myself under the necessity of doing so. I shall set off for Paris on Thursday ... and hope having the pleasure of seeing you ... because should you not approve of the drawing you are perfectly at liberty not to take it. Every one of my pupils are coming with me to France ...", 2 sides 4to., 34 Store Street, Bedford Square, 13th August
