Dear Mr Kennedy -
All right - many thanks for cheque received: £140—
Portrait[2] still going on -
Will write soon and arrange plans. London must be dull after Paris - but it is curiously cold here for June!
You don't say if you have seen the Grafton Gallery[3] - and [p. 2] how you like the Sarasate[4]? - I believe you said you had never seen it -
With kindest regards
Always
J. McN. Whistler.
