My dear Whistler
You know I have not done anything without your know knowledge or tacit consent so you cannot reproach me now for what you virtually consented to -
I never will be other than your sincere friend

1. Philip Richard Morris
Philip Richard Morris (1833 or 1836-1902), painter [more]. Frederick Richards Leyland (1832-1892), ship-owner and art collector [more], had commissioned Morris to paint Portrait of Frances Leyland (Merrill, Linda, With Kindest Regards. The Correspondence of Charles Lang Freer and James McNeill Whistler, 1890-1903, Washington and London, 1995, p. 279, repr.), which was painted in 1877 and exhibited in 1878. JW's reply to Morris's letter is undated (#12825). The dispute is described in #12825.
