| Summary: | Draft manuscript copy of a letter in which he responds quite angrily to the dismissive letter that he had received from R.S. McLaughlin [see above, SP7/3/70] which had effectively rescinded the commission. In particular, Sampson expresses his frustration with his brother Walter for initiating the project in the first place, suspecting that he had only done so out of some kind of sympathy to fill up his "increased leisure time" now that he had retired from the library. He writes, "...I have no personal grievance with Mr McLaughlin, but I fell that my brother, who ought to know something of what I am out for, should not have made such a mistake." |
