LONDON,

3rd. April, 1930.

Dear Sir,

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, Mr. de Laszlo wishes me to let you know that he has decided on a full length portrait for your little daughter [6859] as it will more vividly portray her charming personality.

Mr. de Laszlo’s honorarium for a portrait of that size is £2000, but as your little daughter is such an interesting subject from his point of view, he is prepared to make the honorarium £1500.[1]

Yours faithfully,

Secretary.

Arthur Bendir, Esq.,
