19th May 1923
Dear Mr. De Laszlo
I see you are having an Exhibition in town,[1] & write to ask if the portrait you did of me [4279] would be of any use to you for it. You may remember it was shewn in Edinburgh by you shortly after being painted in 1913[2] –
I feel it is ages since we were last in touch and trying to find a spare moment in your busy life to do my wife’s portrait [4130] and we have both

[covered?] a lot of country and experience [since?].
I shall be away this weekend on duty but hope to hear from you, and Mrs Crookshank will be in town should you wish to telephone about the picture, if urgent.
I trust I may be remembered to Mrs de Laszlo.[3]
Yours very truly
[Colonel C.?] Crookshank
