CHELSEA.

Dear Mr. Robertson -

I am delighted with you! -

You have been tried, and found perfect! - and I am pleased that two of my pet works[3] belong to you -

At this moment, it is true that I am strangely shrouded in mystery & work of a rare & curious nature - but [p. 2] next week we must arrange - and you must come & dine with me - that I may thank you for your graceful kindness. -

Always sincerely
