Dear Lethbridge
Here I am in the midst of Paris - and so sorry that I may not be dining with you on the 5th - Do forgive my not writing to you before - I meant to have answered you instantly - but it is my fate to be always in a whirl of things! -
Ever sincerely Yrs
J McN. Whistler
I send this[3] to London to be addressed there - for I have not your note with me
