Sirs, -
In his absence of Mr Whistler Mr Whistler is on the continent - I opened your
letter[4] and immediately forwarded it on to him. As Mr Whistler is abroad I attend to the etching department and send you the etchings you require except 'Windsor Castle [5]['] (dry point) of which there are at present no more proofs & 1 Windsor Castle Etching[6], 1 Grand Place[7] - 1 Fruit Shop - Chelsea[8] but on Mr Whistler's return he will doubtless print a few more and then I shall send you the couple that you require
A cheque for the accompanying etching would much [oblige?]
Yours truly
Charles J. Hanson

Herman [sic] Wunderlich & Co
