20th April, 1931

My dear Sam,

It is only to-day I have had an opportunity to acknowledge your letter of the 15th.^[1]

I do hope that your offer of Lucien Simon’s picture of the Tate Gallery will be accepted, and I shall look forward to hearing what the reply will be.^[2]

On the afternoon of the 22nd I am receiving the Jury at the R.B.A. Galleries who will decide on the Medals,^[3] and as Mr. Manson^[4] is a Member of the Jury no doubt he will have your proposed gift in mind. I sincerely trust that the fine work will remain in the Tate Gallery.

Editorial Note:

Henry Samuel Howard Guinness (1888–1975), son of Howard Rundell Guinness (1868–1937), Lucy de László’s brother; went by his middle name ‘Samuel’ and known to his family as ‘Sam’.
