Letters, 1863.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79821746

The collection comprises six letters. Haag congratulates Frederic Leighton on the works he exhibited at the Royal Academy. Answering his friend's request, he recommends [Edward] Duncan as a watercolor teacher for his young French friend (1863 May 18). The artist accepts with pleasure the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Leaf (1863 June 16). He informs Mrs. Bircknell that he had been on a holiday on the Rhine, and he was leaving for "beautiful Scotland" (1864 May 23). He sends regrets to Mr. Leaf for an invitation which he cannot attend because he is leaving town (1868 June 8). Haag regrets he cannot visit professor Richard Owen, but has read his biographical notes and listened to his "eloquent and charming speech." He has also read his biograhical note in the University Magazine, with his beautiful portrait, but he would like to see one without "that favorit [sic] velvet cap" (1878 May 7). The artist thanks Henry Harben for sending his volume of poetry, which has brought back nostalgic recollections of Egypt.
