23rd July, 1924.

Dear Sirs,

In reply to your letter of the 21st inst., Mr. de Laszlo has been in communication with Lady Willin[g]don, and she is coming to see him to-day to arrange about her portrait [7755].

Re. Mr Anderson [sic], Mr. de Laszlo is willing to paint a portrait for 300 guineas [3443], but would also be willing to do just a head, similar to that of Alice Barby [sic] [2340] or Mrs. Dresselhuys [4912], which he [illegible], as you know only sketch portraits.^[1]

He is sending you a parcel of 14 photographs, and would be glad if you would kindly put the names on them. They are for Miss Evans, to be reproduced in the Town and Country Magazine. Will you please ask her for a receipt. Mr. de Laszlo has also received a letter from Mrs. Gillespie who asks that a photograph of the portrait of Miss Hoffmann [9942] may be sent to Miss Edith Robinson, 383, Madison Avenue, New York City, U.S.A., as she herself is going to France on Sunday.^[2] It seems that there are two representatives of this paper, and if Miss Evans comes in, will you kindly mention this to her. In case she does not come in, will you please forward the photograph to the address in New York.

Mr. de Laszlo has received the sad news of the death of his sister abroad, and is leaving to-night for the funeral.^[3] He expects to be back about the middle of next week, but if you have anything to write about the meeting will you please address it to me here.

Yours faithfully,

Secretary.

Messrs Wallis & Son.
