Dear - Mr Hooper.

Jimmie has rushed off in a great hurry, and has asked me to write to you for him,

He is very much pleased at your wishing to have the picture, it is a pet of his, and he [p. 2] was asking rather a large price for it; but if you think that 100 guineas is mor is not too much for the "Fete on the Sands"[5] you shall have [it] -

Will you Let us know - at once, because it is now at the Exhibition at Brusseles and I we must let [p. 3] them know - at once - that it is not for sale -
