Dear Sir:
I duly received your telegram[2] yesterday.
Perhaps it will expedite matters & save you some inconvenience if I quote Messrs Harper & Brothers' cable. It is as follows: "What arrangement for price & priority can you make Whistler's Ten O'clock[3] in Magazine."
Possibly you may be able to give me an answer to this by letter[4], but if you wish to see me I will call any time you may mention.
Very truly yours
F W Slater
