My dear Kennedy -
I am very sorry about those etchings & lithographs having to come back and forth in this way because of my forgetting to sign them! - This I will now do at once - but I shall send them back again to London - as I really cannot take the responsibility of posting them in this rolled up state across the ocean - You must do this yourself! -
[p. 2] Did you go to the Grafton Galleries? and how do you think the Lady Meux[3] looks? - .
No rain here yet! It is now sixty days or more and not a drop -
What news have you that is amusing? -
Very Sincerely
J. McN. Whistler
