Dear Sirs,

In reply to your letter, I am desired by Mr. de Laszlo to say that he has just terminated the portrait of the American Ambassador, Mr. Kellogg [5917] which is to be officially presented to the American Embassy, here, in continuation of the portraits of the past Ambassadors. The portrait will be photographed to-day and, as Mr. de Laszlo promised you, he will let you have a photograph for publication in America.

Mr. de Laszlo also would be glad to know when he will receive a copy of the paper with the Queen of Rumania [3200],^[1] and he would like to know what you have arranged about the portrait of H.H. The Pope [6690] which is being, today, officially placed at the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Yours faithfully,

Secretary.
