Dear M. de Laszlo

Even in the wilds here I see you are having an Exhibition of your portraits^[1] and if your would care to include the two splendid ones you did of Lady Douro [3999] & my Son [5357]^[2]

[Page 2]

I shall be glad if you take them. I am to be in Scotland till about the end of the month but I could easily arrange with my housekeeper at Hill Street about them^[3]

At last we have got summer weather here after
