Dear Mr Whistler.

Allow me to enclose you an excellently appreciative notice of your work exhibited at Munich^[2]. -

Hoping Mrs Whistler^[3] & yourself are enjoying the best of health amid the strangely trying weather at this time of the year,

I remain with best compliments to Mrs Whistler,
Yours very truly

Sidney Whitman

P S: Don't bother to acknowledge receipt of this. I am pleased if enclosure is new to you. -

[p. 2] P. S:^[4] They place you first in portraiture among living Englishmen & in etching first since Rembrandt^[5]! A pity I cannot drink your health except from afar.!

S W.
