Content DescriptionApologising for not confirming his intention sooner [not to stand for election to the Royal Academy.] Napper had not been well since his return to Paris. He emphasizes that his decision was in no way a reflection on the RA, but entirely was dictated by his need for personal freedom at the moment. He encloses an official note to the Secretary asking that his name be removed from the list of candidates for election, from the same address and also dated 11 March 1959.
