Dear Phillip,

I was wondering whether you could give me any more information you may possess about the painter (William Holyoake), his painting style and any other works of his. I was also hoping that you might be able to confirm for me that he was the son of noted secularist George Jacob Holyoake.

Many Thanks,

Matthew Lowe
