One page, cr. 8vo, fold marks, smudges (ink?), minor foxing and damage NOT affecting text. He thanks her for her letter, but apologises that "I do not feel able to come & criticize at the Sketch Club meeting in December. | I have just recently written [elision] letters refusing to give two lectures, & although a criticism is not exactly the the same, it's very similar - I am constantly being asked to give lectures & criticisms & if agree [sic] to do it for you I should have to accept others. I already have two days teaching each week taken from my carving time & I do npot want to have more time taken from my sculpture - | I hope you will understand this, & will not think that I do not apprecaite the students wishoing me to come - Will you please explain my reasons to them for not being able to come."
