Dear Mr. Thomson -

I don't quite make out from your note whether you had mine this morning? - I sent it early to the Grand Hotel - and told you in it that I am kept in the house by a cold - In any case however we could not have, this time, accepted your very kind invitation to dinner, as we have my Brother the Doctor[4] & his wife[5] staying with us.

Of course I will take you with pleasure to this studio tomorrow - Come here and breakfast at 12 and [we] will go afterwards together -

If you are very busy we will wait for you -

A demain donc[6] -

J McN Whistler
