(Sir John Everett, 1829-1896, Pre-Raphaelite Painter)
Fine autograph letter signed to 'Dear Gilbert',
saying that he doesn't "know whether you are Sir or not but I address you as you must be immediately. Now I want you to be a good fellow and be a steward to the Artist's General Benevolent Institution for our dinner 18 May, Lord Lorne in the Chair. I am Hony Secy & must do all I can for the Society so you must not write me down a bore. My time is much taken up in the work but I take it as a duty and I hope you will regard this office of steward in the same light. You will not be asked to do it again, only once in a life and such a hardship. Hoping you are all right again ...", 3 sides sm. 8vo., with engraved portrait, 7 Cromwell Place headed paper, 26th February
