| Description | Huggins recieved a note from Miss Messa regarding Messa's copy of the portrait of Sir William Huggins, originally made by Collier. However, Huggins has found this a painful process as 'the copy is a poor thing in my judgement. Poor work; and a poor copy'. Huggins reports that she expressed her views so that Messa could improve, but she was was 'bitterly disappointed with me [Huggins] because I did not praise'. Huggins then discusses new papers at the B A [British Academy], and is glad that agriculture is to have a section. She ends by noting that she feels 'very sad for the poor Ramsay Macdonalds; and for my old Friends the Gladstones'. |
