Dear Sir -
I am intending to publish a series of photographs of eminent popular artists, and should be much obliged if I may be allowed to include yours in the number.
May I, therefore, ask you to kindly send me a recent portrait of yourself, or refer me to a photographer from whom I can obtain one?
Yours faithfully,
The Editor, Cassells Magazine
J McNeill Whistler Esq.
