Dear Mr. Pearsall -
I shall be delighted to see you - and show you my new studio when you come to London -
The Studio though by the way I have scarcely got into yet - and after all it is uninteresting enough for it is only a large bare work shop -
Write me a line to [p. 2] 454. Fulham Road, Walham Green -
Oh yes I know Fairfield[3] very well and I believe you also know another friend of mine Alan Cole[4] -
One of these days I certainly hope to go to Ireland[5], but we will talk about it when I see you -
Yours very sincerely
J McNeill Whistler
