TELEGRAMS. - BOUSSOD, LONDON.
Dear Sir,
We are in due receipt of your telegram of today asking us to send Mrs Peter Taylor's[2] picture.
We have not been able to send it today as it came too late from Mr Richards[3] to be insured; it will leave tomorrow and [p. 2] our Paris people will inform you of it[s] arrival
Yours faithfully
Boussod Valadon & Co.

J. McNeill Whistler Esq
P. S. We received yesterday a letter from Mr Chapman[4] stating that he consented to his pictures[5] being sent to Paris or Munich provided we gave him a guarantee against loss and he was put to no expense in [p. 3] forwarding or eventually returning the pictures to Liverpool. As his letter was dated 15th April and written from Hotel Lafond 14 Rue de la Tremoille Paris, we concluded on receipt of your telegram yesterday that you had seen Mr Chapman and arranged all matters with him personally for, as we have already stated, we cannot undertake any responsibility in connection [p. 4] with these pictures once they leave our possession for the Salon or elsewhere. We should be pleased to know if this is correct.
