should be grateful if you would kindly make it known
through the columns of your paper that the material
for the official and authorised " Life of Lord Leighton" is now being prepared for publication by Mrs. Russell Barrington.
,addition to the diaries and letters supplied by Lord Leighton's sister, Mrs. Matthews (his heir and sole executor), the use of any materiel likely to help the biographer is greatly desired ; and I am reqw_sted to appeal to all possessing letters and _documents of public,. interest which elucidate the character and life of Lord Leighton—especially those which have reference to his artistic career—to be so good as to lend them for this purpose. If such letters and documents are forwarded to me at Ruskin House, 156 Charing Cross Road, I will ensure that every possible care shall be taken of them, and that they shall be promptly returned to the owners.—I am, Sir, &c., GEORGE ALLEN. Ruskin House, 156 Clearing Cross Road.
