Fragment[3] from letter to A. R.

. . . . . . . However that sort of thing is nearly over - most of that lot are pretty well gone out of the country - thank the Lord! - Why do you know that at least seventeen of these Whistlers have been sold since I have been here - The mass of these since my Exhibition[4] - & most of these gone away for ever! - So that's all right! - There are only three or four left in London now - . . . . . . . .
