Item description from seller

An interesting letter, casting light on the activities of trustees during the early days of the National Gallery. See the entries for Spring Rice and Baring in the Oxford DNB, as well as that for Sir Culling Eardley (1805-1863), 3rd Baronet. In good condition, lightly aged and folded twice, with slight traces of glue from mount on reverse. Dated from ‘The Uplands / East Sheen / Saturday’. 1p, 8vo. Eleven lines of text. ‘Do look in at the British Gallery in Pall Mall to take another look at Culling Eardleys two Murillos which we visited together a few years back. I should not despair of obtaining them on reasonable terms & I think the purchase for our national Collection would not be a discreditable memorial of the present exhibition / All our Trustees will be in town & we [should easily have?] a good meeting’.
