Dear Mr. Watts -
I am much touched to find, on my return from a long absence, your most kind and charming letter[3] -
Approval or acknowledgment of any kind I am here but little prepared for - you may therefore imagine the deep pleasure this flattering & warm expression of sympathy from a confrère so greatly distinguished as yourself has given me -
J McN Whistler
