BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT
[Royal coat of arms]
TO H. R. H. THE PRINCE OF WALES.
[etc.]
Dear Mr Whistler,
Without at all wishing to bother you again about the Glasgow customer[2], I thought I would send you the enclosed letter[3] I have just had from him. I thought you could write me a little note[4] telling me finally that you will not lend any more drawings and that would end the matter. I should of course send your letter to him.
Hope your hand[5] is better (?)
Yours very truly
Ernest G. Brown.

This may relate to an incident during JW's stay at Wortley Hall, near Sheffield, home of Susan Charlotte Granville (1834-1927), née Lascelles, wife of E. M. S. G. Stuart-Wortley [more], and Edward Montagu Stuart Granville Stuart-Wortley (1827-1899), 1st Earl of Wharncliffe [more]. According to a draft letter to Lady Wharncliffe, he tumbled over a stile into a meadow, straining his wrist (see #06005).
