Dear Mr. Brown -

Here is this bit of price list^[3] you sent me - and now you had better get me the others -

The proofs have come then, from Paris - and with them, the drawing^[4] we talked about -

Thirty five guineas I said [p. 2] I would like for it - and you can ask what price you like - You said you can place it - Isn't that so! - and so I have got it for you -

All right is n't it? -

Now if you will give me the names &adre of the gentlemen^[5] you wish me to thank for having disturbed their Exhibitions, I will write -

Very Sincerely

J McN. Whistler
