Dear Sir,
Catalogue. List shall be sent very soon
Hon Mrs Wyndham[2]. Shall we send for the picture & when?
St Marks Venice[3]. We shall see frame
Posters. Shall send proof.
News Papers. This is receiving every attention
Private View List. Of course we have a long & good list of our own. But we thought you might have others. We note those you ask, but all are in our book.
[p. 2] None of the works shall be seen -
Date[4]. This if the 19th is four weeks before Easter which is on April 17th[.] We think March 19th about the very best Saturday in the year & we are too anxious to allow any thing to militate against success to [se?] risk even the smallest point.
We are putting our backs into this matter & it will be a grand success. Every one we have asked has consented to lend their pictures, after [p. 3] a little argument in some cases, but still we have got them & that is no small difficulty.
Mr Flower[5] consents to lend his Nocturne[6] & his Japanese Lady[7]. Kindly say if we may accept both. He was very pleasant & willing to help.
More tomorrow
Yours very truly

[p. 4] P. S.[8] Mr Leathart[9] also will lend.
