Dear Mr Morgan -
Just one word about the Catalogue[3] - If it be possible the first thing in the morning without retarding the work -
See that the marginal note[4] that at present reads "You can't always sometimes generally tell" is altered to "Sometimes, generally, always." ' -
Yours truly
J. McNeill Whistler
