Dear Mr Reid -
I have sent you by todays post five new lithographs[3] - fresh, and I hope you will think lovely! - I am as you will see in a good humour with them myself -
The little figure[4] in drapery, seated, is three guineas - she is really too dainty - besides I dont know yet but what it may not last as long as the others which [are] as usual two guineas - [p. 2] The discount as usual 15. percent -
Do you want any more? -
I have lots of things in the atelier - and among them several new pastels! -
What news?
In haste
Sincerely
J McN Whistler
