Typed Letter Signed to Miss Scott Rogers of the Royal Academy of Arts.

Artist (1894-1966) and principal of Brighton School of Art. One page, octavo. Good, but lightly creased and with staple holes in the top lefthand corner. Date stamps in grey and red ink. Letter concerns the suitability of Alfred Charles Hull as a member of the Academy. Benney knew Hull 'for many years as a master at Shoreham Grammar School' and elsewhere. 'Mr. Hull is an extremely charming fellow and would socially fit in very happily with the Society. It is a little difficult, however, for me to say whether he is of fellowship standard. So far as academic qualifications are concerned I should say no, but where interest in artistic matters is concerned, coupled with the fact that he will doubtlessly be continuing as a teacher of art, I am inclined to say yes.' Signed 'E. A. Sallis Benney'.
