Dear Sir,
Mr. Whistler informed me that you had no information about yo the Etchings you kindly sent to the Exhibition in Vienna[5] and I much regret that you have reason for complaint.
I have written to Vienna s to ask the council to send you some explanation about the Etchings by Mr. Whistler and why they are not in the Catalog.
I dare say they arrived too late for the first Edition of the Catalog.
Yours very truly
G. Sauter
Monsieur Kennedy.
