Dear Sir,I would like to thank Jonathan Land Evans for pointing out a historical inaccuracy in my latest mural The History of the Elbow Beach Hotel 1908-1980. I had painted a Portuguese crew manning the rescue boat headed for the Pollockshields, which wrecked off Elbow Beach. I always try to be as historically accurate as possible, so will be changing the Portuguese crew to a black crew in the near future.GRAHAM FOSTER
