Item 290 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Edward Marsh

1 item

Thinks that Eddie is on the committee of the [Contemporary Art Society]; [Augustus] Daniel tells him there is a meeting on 14 December. The question of giving some money towards the purchase of Betty Muntz's group of a woman and child is likely to be raise: [Jim] Ede has seen it, and possibly also Ivor [Spencer-] Churchill; if Eddie wants to see it too before the meeting, Miss Muntz will be away between 7-11 December so there is not much time; gives her address and phone number. Expects her friends will be able to raise a sum to help get it cast and bought, but a 'contribution from the Society would make all the difference'. Though does not think his own opinion is of much value, he thinks it 'far the best thing she has done''; [Frank?] Dobson also seems to think highly of it.
