Madam
The Rev. W. Batson[3] has requested us to write you regarding the play "The Faithful Shepherdess"[4].
We have been asked by Major Loch[5], political agent, Jodhpur, to try and obtain him the words and music of the above play.
The Revd W. Batson has obtained the music for us, [p. 2] but not the words &c.
Mr. W. Webb[6] has advised him to apply to you, as he believed it was your property, hence our reason for troubling you.
If you have 3 or 4 copies may we buy them? or if you have none, can you tell us where they are to be obtained?
We are,
Your obedt Servants
Borse & Co.
Mrs. J. McNeill Whistler
