Letter from James William Colvile to Richard Monckton Milnes
HOUG/A/D/1/15/1 · Item · [1840s?]
Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

Milnes has been blackballed at the Travellers Club, but 'in good company - with Landseer. The Travellers will have neither poetry nor painting'. Milnes' friends did what they could 'but there was a strong cabal against you & nothing could save you'. Suspects that 'the enemy' came from the Foreign Office. Is very sorry. Signed 'JWC'.
