Dear Mrs Addams -
I am sending a line to you for Mr Whistler in order to especially enclose an early peep at the wall of the Gallery[3] in which you are particularly interested.
He wishes me to say to you that your pictures[4] look much better than the reproduction and that you may be quite happy about them.
As to the law business[5] that will be all right, and there is no hurry, but he will [p. 2] write to you about this himself later.
With kindest regards.
Believe me
Sincerely yours.
Rosalind Birnie Philip.
