Dear Mr Way -
Will you kindly, until I am able to see you myself, either print what more proofs may be required by Mr Huish[4], or allow him or Mr Brown[5] to fill up from what you mayhave by you -
I feared this exhibition[6] would give me trouble in the midst of my many anxieties[7], but I certainly never dreamed of such a complication as a misunderstanding with yourselves.
Very faithfully Yours
J McN Whistler.
