Letters, 1899-1916.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84214268

The collection comprises three letters. Holroyd thanks Charles Hiat for his essay "A note on the National Gallery of British Art," expressing his opinions about the author's suggestions (1899 Oct. 16). An autograph letter, on letterhead The autograph collection of Howes Norris Jr., includes the artist's signature and an ink sketch of five heads (1910 Nov. 22). Holroyd writes his friend Evelyn a somewhat nostalgic letter following his last meeting with the board of trustees as director of the National Gallery. On the agenda was Evelyn's father's bequest of three pictures. The trustees gratefully accepted the Alphonse Legros and the Richard Wilson, but refused his Costa (1916 May 23).
