Letter sent by Simmonds [from Derby School of Art] to Edward Catterns, GSA Secretary

Refers to decision by GSA to print the results of student examination successes; to amount of money spent by himself on the School; argues against Committee of Management claiming that he was allowed to take over Derby School of Art as a favour to himself; refers to recent High Court against a headmaster of an Art School.
