A good autograph letter signed to Henry Graves. 3-sides 8vo:
"I have just this moment received your note at which I cannot express my astonishment the honours of the academy are achieved by merit & by that alone your brother must rise or fall. Personal application is discountenanced how much more then must be the interference of relatives by letters such measures are more likely to do harm than good no one has admired your Brother's talent or spoken more of it than I have but if a case could happen where the claims & merits of two candidates were equal I should I think be disposed to lean on the unsolicited side my vote at elections is seldom influenced by private friendship or party feeling and I have every reason to believe the same motive guides the older Members let me therefore if you wish not to injure your Brother cause to write no more letters.I trust you will be able to .excuse my observations which may appear harsh". 18 Soho Sq. 4th Nov. 1846. Third side holed with the loss of a few letters traces of mounting to last blank side. unknown

MURRAY, SIR DAVID (1849-1933). Scottish landscape painter:
A good autograph letter signed 2 1/2-sides 8vo to a Mr. Grundy:
: "In your capital article on the McCulloch sale you say 'It is true that the McCulloch continental examples as a whole showed a better return on the original outlay than the English ones: but the former were largely purchased under expert advice almost wholly consisted of works by artists of established repute whereas the latter comprised not a few by men of secondary reputation etc. etc.' . Now I think your first remark on this subject is the right one if it is a pity you qualified it for if the facts were known they would go to strengthen confidence in modern English art which it stands much in need of now that the Trade has for its own reasons taken up any art but modern English.I may say as I think it will interest you to know the fact that Mrs. Coutts Michie wife of the Scottish painter James Coutts Michie herself on the evening of the RA soiree volunteered to me the statement that their disappointment in the sale was the miserable show made by the foreign portion of the sale on which she assured me they had lost £14000."etc. Printed heading of the Arts Club Dover St. crossed through and 1 Langham Chambers Portland Place substituted. 6th July 1913.Traces of mounting to blank side of conjugate leaf. Very good. The McCulloch Modern Art collection formed by Mrs. Coutts Michie's second husband George McCulloch 1848-1907 was dispersed by Christies over a 3-day sale in May 1913 and realised £55000. unknown
