                                                                 10th April,  1931.

            Dear Kitson,
                        At the meeting yesterday the Trustees
             would not have the portrait of Cotman so I have
             written to the Solicitor, Mr.J.G.Kingford Smale
             at 2, Princes Square, Harrogate, and said that it is
             not required and will he send me instructions for
             disposal.
                        I am sorry they would not have it but there
             was nothing to be done.
                                                              Yours sincerely

                                                                       H.M.HAKE
