These letters were written by the portrait painter Howard Somerville to M. T. Woodhouse a Senior Tutor at the City of Leeds Training College. They are concerned with the commission of a portrait of retiring Principal of the College, Dr. John R. Airey. Somerville had earlier been commissioned to paint the portrait of Airey's predecessor Walter Parsons. It seems Somerville as a favour to the College reduced his rates for the Airey commission.
