Sir -
I shall most probably have something ready in time for your exhibition[3] and will send to you with pleasure -
If Monsieur Durand Ruel[4] could call upon me any afternoon at about 3. o'clock I could show him what is going on in my Studio and talk any matters over with him -
[p. 2] Yours truly
