Scope and Content
Letter appears to be missing a page at the beginning. Merrifield writes of an issue with her illustrated instructional book, "On light and shade with especial reference to model-drawing," which she sent to a Mr Chapman to have published. Merrifield states that Chapman was meant to send it to Redgrave and Henry Cole to have it placed on the list of their approved works. She claims that Chapman sent the manuscript to Marlborough House five months ago and there has been no mention of it. She is worried that her manuscript, of which she has no copy, has been lost. [The letter appears to have been written to Charles Lock Eastlake as she ends her note by writing, "with best wishes to Lady Eastlake." It is likely that Eastlake gave the letter to Redgrave for further action.] -
