Gents,
I received on Saturday night the enclosed acct and return it herewith.
If you washed and cleaned my picture[4] by Whistler it was not done on my behalf. I lent the picture for your Exhibition[5] at Mr Whistler's desire supported by you, and I am surprised that after having favoured you & him by the loan of the picture, you should now claim of me some expense incurred by its exhibition!!
Yours truly
signed James Leathart.
