Possible arrangements for Mills' and Hutton's collections of objects |

This address makes you jump, doesn't it? Well here I am in my old haunts, but only for a very short time...About my collection I think your suggestion is most sound and reasonable and I had more than once thought of offering my things absolutely. Anyhow I will talk to Hutton when I see him. My own feeling is that it would be a good thing if we combined our collections in handing them over and they became the Hutton-Mills Collection. It would be some collection. We shall never see it all together as a whole, but if it were together it would be worth looking at. The ideal would be a combined collection (of course distributed in the P.R.) with a good illustrated catalogue. But that would mean a lot of money. But could I if I gave my things truthfully say that I had a big collection at Home - a thing I do sometimes say, not without pride?... |
