Evidence: | Letter B 14 - Postmark 6/12/1857 - "I can't answer at length till Monday. But you are quite right about the graver want of the book. [The Elements of Drawing, which had been published in June]. The appalling character of it is only to young ladies who think of drawing as mere recreation - assuredly no more work is asked than about half what they give to piano." |
