Summary
Writing that he will try to meet him at Christie's tomorrow and that he has just returned from Venice with "a picture which I think will really do me good", adding that "Your friend Agnew bought it - I only sent into the RA on Monday night.", and that he believes Gaskell will think that Fildes has made a "great advance" when he sees it; concluding that he is glad that he likes the drawings and that he "shall be interested to see them mounted & framed."
