'Rec Wednesday Sept 9. 1896.'

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

J McN Whistler

Tuesday night.
