Summary
Thanking her for a proof of a wood engraving of an illustration by Holman Hunt for the Moxon Tennyson, and remarking "what a pity that photography and impressionism have done away with almost all charm in the work of today."; going on to note that "From your remarks about mounts I rather fancy that you consider that the value of a work of art has everything to do with its money value : my experience is almost the direct contrary"; offering to show her his collection of "rare old woodcuts".
