Dear Mr. Whistler,
Just a line to remind you that we are very much in want of Putney Bridge[2], Battersea Bridge[3] and the proofs that we are out of in the Venice Set[4]. If you could let us have a few to go on with we should be very much obliged indeed. We shall lose the sale of them if we cannot supply them at once. I also want the set of specially printed ones that I spoke to you about.
Yours faithfully
Ernest G. Brown.
