Dear Mr Whistler
I cannot see how you can have failed to understand my letter[3], but we have expended so much time and labour on your behalf that we are unable to proceed further, without some written or verbal instructions to my Father[4].
I remain
Yours Faithfully
Thos R. Way
J. McN. Whistler Esqr
