My dear Jack -
I wish you would first of all get picture[5] out of Dowdeswells'[6] rooms - it can only do me harm - and I do beg that you will not dream of leaving it there during your month's absence - Couldn't you have it sent round to your brothers[7] at once? -
By the way are you staying there? [p. 2] and could you not look in here tonight or tomorrow morning as early as you like - say 9.30 - Or much better will you not come and dine with us tonight - 8 o'clk.
Always Yours
J McN. Whistler
