PURCHASE & ACCEPTANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

A meeting of the Purchase and Acceptance Committee was held in the Board Room on November 6th 1941.

The Committee was notified of an offer by Mr. H. Mortimer Lamb to present to the Gallery:

a) A Goranson drypoint
b) Two paintings, one by J.E.H. Macdonald and one by Arthur Lismer which had formerly been on loan to the Gallery.
c) To present other pictures by F.H. Varley, A.Y. Jackson and Arthur Lismer.
d) To present a folio of Group of Seven Drawings.

All of these offers were gratefully accepted. The Secretary was instructed however to write Mr. Lamb making clear the fact that the smaller of these pictures might not be displayed except for educational or historical purposes owing to our limited space.
