Dear Sir -

I beg to thank you for the prompt and courteous way in which you always carry out my wishes on the short notice I am so continually obliged to send you. -

Doubtless these last paintings[3] will reach [p. 2] me directly - and I shall receive due notice from your house here -

Perhaps if you were to write and tell me what you have in your mind about purchases I might see if any thing could be managed -

Very faithfully Yours

J McNeill Whistler
