Scope and content
A letter from Jack B. Yeats to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. referring to the suggestion of holding a national loan exhibition of his work. Yeats wrote ‘The honour and pleasure to myself would be very great – But I am afraid such an exhibition would go against the sale of my paintings. The suggestion might come to people that I have retired’. He promises to take a few more days to consider the proposal before writing to Fr. Senan again.
