Typed Letter Signed from the artist and critic Adrian Bury to Miss Joyce Havell, discussing the landscape painter William Havell and his family.

2pp., 4to. Fair, on lightly-aged paper. He thanks her for her 'kind letter and transcription letters', and will be 'grateful to receive prints of your drawings by William Havell. Truly, those at the V. & A. are not very good, and I feel sure that there are much finer ones in existence.' He was 'amused by Auntie Jane's letter to her nephew', and will 'try and come down to Reading to see your Havells later on'. He would also like to see those of 'Mrs. Wilson'. He considers 'Luke Havell's children - a very gifted family'. The latter part of the letter discusses the 'Old Water-Colour Society's Club Volume', a copy of which will be sent to her. 'Certainly, William Havell must come into my series of Old Master Water-Colourists.'
