RE diary, 1 May 1953

I had so hoped to see you at the banquet to tell you how pleased I was to get your letter. I am delighted to have joined you all and count myself v. lucky. I just love your big picture in Room X and would like to hear how you painted it. Hope we may meet soon. as ever Anthony.

- Card sent to Richard by the portrait painter Anthony Devas, on seeing 'Coast Scene with Rainbow' at the 1953 RA Summer Exhibition.
