Dear Mr Reid -
I have never received any reply to my answer to your letter about the portraits[4]? -
Are you perhaps coming over immediately, and for that reason remain silent until you see me? -
The Champ [sic] de Mars[5] is in full swing - and I have sent quite [p. 2] a group -
Very Sincerely
J McN Whistler
