Sir -
Mr. Whistler tells me that you wish me to clean and revarnish the portrait of "Miss Alexander[4]" - before it is so that it may be then glazed -
Will it be convenient that I should send for the picture this week, say tomorrow or Friday, so that I should be enabled to begin the cleaning before Mr. Whistler leaves town next week as he is most anxious to superintend the process -
To
W. C. Alexander Esq
