Dear Mr. Whistler,
I have just received some more of the "managers window[3]" and the "Duet[4]" (one) which you would never, never publish, as you hated it. Lo, it is in the catalogue!
You need not send the "Manager's Window", as we have enough, & the others, you can do as your judgment dictates. I think they will sell, as they are very attractive. The "Girl and bowl[5]" - 4 /4 /- Why should it be so high?
When I say "as your judgment dictates", I mean if David[6] has not ordered a half-dozen. If not, please send them. You say you [p. 2] want money. How much for the full length figure of either the Girl in pink[7] or the one in black or grey[8]? How much cash - c-a-s-h. I don't want anything else. To be shipped at once. Miss Phillips[9] [sic] that was, posed for both.
I hope madame[10] Continues to improve & am,
Yours Sincerely,
E. G. Kennedy.
