My dear Mrs Pennell -
Mr. Whistler has left for Paris by this afternoon's train. He was much hurried and so asked me to write to you for him.
He is very sorry that his sudden departure will prevent him being with you tomorrow evening and also wishes me to say from Mr Heinemann[4] that he too will be unable as he is going [p. 2] out of toown town.
I am feeling rather forlorn for Mrs. Whibley[5] was to have come up to-day, and a letter has just come to say she is not well.
I must not forget also to enclose the little handkerchief with many thanks from Mr. Whistler.
With kindest regards
Yours very sincerely.
Rosalind Birnie-Philip.
