Autograph Letter signed to Dr. Moore, 7th December 1890, writing in reply to a request for his opinion on the "Station" Scholarship "must no doubt be the Telegraphists blunder for 'Italian Scholarship", he continued to say that he had signed the paper Moore had sent & mailed a note with Professor Millais letters - which would have hopefully have settled the matter." William Holman Hunt Autograph Letter signed to Mrs. Pattison, 5th December 1862, "There is nothing but a very vague idea of the lectures on Art at present. Whether there will be anything else that is in my time I cannot say, but if so and it depends upon the exertion of the future professor, he will have to be someone with a more inclination to shine in oratory than myself. I am glad to hear your idea of the inadvisability of the undertaking because I was beginning to think that I should be obliged, spite of my dislike to it to make some sort of promise to undertake the task of preliminary lecturer on art. It is certainly wanted badly enough not in Oxford only but throughout England for every day I think public talk is becoming more meretricious."
