Editorial Note:

The sender, Bertha Capel (later Lady Michelham), was daughter of Arthur Capel, shipping merchant, and sister of Coco Chanel's lover "Boy" Capel. In 1898, Bertha and her sister, Henriette, had been painted by the French artist, Jacques-Émile Blanche (1861-1942). The double-portrait, Lady Michelham and Miss Henriette Capel, is now on display at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nice.
