Scope and content
Two letters from Glaisher and five letters from Francis Dodd about the portrait. In the letter dated 19 Aug. 1926, Glaisher shares his memories of William Davidson Niven. In the letter of 1 Aug. 1926 Dodd declines to make another drawing of A. E. Housman, as he has found that he rarely repeated success with a subject.
