Dear Mr. Hanson.
I wish you would just look in at the Curtis people[3]. They dont seem to me to be keeping up with things at all. Since the opening of the Grafton Gallery[4] they have not sent me a single cutting!
The Westminster Gazette[5] you spoke of I have never had from them -
Also there has been a certain "Interview" in some paper - with Sir George Reid[6] [p. 2] President of the Royal Scottish Academy, in which a good deal seems to have been uttered about me - They ought not to have missed that -
In short what are they about?
J McN Whistler
