Dear Mr. Thomson -
I beg that you will send the picture Sarasate[4], by me, to Mr. Kennedy[5] (Messrs. Wunderlich[6]) of New York - at once -
I had meant to have written to you about this before - but have been too busy -
I am going out of town on Thursday or Friday - for a week or so -
Very sincerely
