Chelsea,
Dear. Mr. Hood.
Jimmie is so very busy that I am writing this for him.
The etchings shall be picked out for you to choose from - but how many do you think your friend wants?
When you come to [p. 2] town I suppose you will let us know
Meanwhile Jimmie sends you these two last cuttings[4].
Yours always sincerely
Beatrix Whistler
I had already sent[5] you the first cutting, so that now you ought to have the three complete in your studio for the benefit of the curious in 'History.'

5. I had already sent
