Scope and content

Two letters to A. S. F. Gow from Fortescue, including one in which he hopes the artist (Eric Gill) "is not a conceited & confident young man because, for some reason which I cannot divine, I am a difficult subject..." With two letters from Eric Gill to Gow dated 18 Dec. 1926 and 26 Feb. 1927, the second mentioning that while he was drawing Fortescue was reading proofs and Gill thinks "the expression of the eye rather convey the critical look of a proof reader."
