Dear Sir,
Lithographs. They have not yet come but doubtless they are on the way.
Chapman[2]. As our people wrote to you Mr Chapman is in Paris (Hotel Lafond 13 Rue de la Tremoille) & if he agrees to let the pictures go to the Champs de Mars all is well. The pictures are now as advised at our flat at 9 Rue Chaptal.
[p. 2] Potter[3]. He was here during the Easter holidays & is reported pleasant & he said he would write to you. Since then he writes to say he is in communication with you.
Mrs Peter Taylor[4]. This picture also is in Paris & looks very well. The present owner[5] wants to use his old frame again & asks us to put it in hand for him (at his expense) if you will decide who is to do the colouring or decorating on the frame. Will you please say who should do it?
Catalogues. We send you the only copy [p. 3] of the Fifth Edition which Way[6] gives to us. We shall try to obtain some others.
Album. Being done & proofs now being printed & mounted for your inspection
Yours faithfully
