Monday - / March

Dear Rose -

Any news about "my house"[5] - . Is it all right? am I wanted to take any step? or will it all be settled without me? Are you going to make him[6] do anything at all to the house and can I go in shortly when the agreement[7] is made

[p. 2] I have been knocked up for a couple of days with rheumatism but hope to get to work again tomorrow - I was very sorry not to see you the other day at Rosetti's[8] [sic] -

Will you drop me a line about the house.

With many thanks
Ever Yours

J Whistler
