Dear Mr Whistler

Please accept my thanks for your letter[2] received to-day. We will leave the matter in abeyance as you suggest - with as I hope the understanding that when you are prepared to publish the first opportunity will be given to Messers. H & B.

I am obliged by your thinking of me in connection with the Saturday's view[3]. But the ticket did not reach me

Your's very truly

J. R. Osgood
