Dear Mr Way,
Will you, Mr Whistler says - print him, he thinks - 12. each of the lithographs which are in the Grafton Gallery[5] - He quite agrees with you that it is better to have a larger [p. 2] quantity printed - Will you let me know if you want some more paper, and if so how many sheets -
With kind regards from us both to yourself and your father[6].
Believe me
Very sincerely
Beatrix Whistler
