Gentlemen,
I am in receipt of your letter of 21st Inst.
I regret that I do not see any way to pay the charge for cleaning my picture[3]: The cleaning was done solely because Mr Whistler thought it would look better, & had I wished it cleaned, I should have had it [p. 2] done myself before I moved it into the Country.
You mention the fact of Mr. Whistler having been put to several expenses connected with the Exhibition[4], but you omit to state on the other side of the account, the profits arising from the Exhibition, all pictures exhibited being lent free of cost.
Yours faithfully
Robert H. C. Harrison
