Wrong Thaw

From Mr Eugene Victor Thaw Sir: I was, of course, very pleased to read Paul Johnson's kind words (And another thing, 17 March) about my collection of drawings, now housed at the Pierpont Morgan Library. It is, however, already partly given and the remainder promised to the Morgan rather than a long-term loan.

Also, I need to point out that John Thaw is the actor, of Inspector Morse fame. The drawings collector is the undersigned.
