REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS,

IRISH GUARDS,

BIRDCAGE WALK,

LONDON, S.W.1.

13th June, 1931.

Dear Sir,

You may remember that I saw your [sic] in December of last year, with reference to having your picture of Lord Cavan [4037] (with two slight alterations, i.e., cap and medal ribbons) copied for the Irish Guards.

You very kindly gave your consent to the picture being copied by Mr. S.P. Kendrick.^[1] I then had to let the matter drop owing to shortage of funds.

I have now obtained the necessary funds. Have I permission to proceed with the matter, and arrange for Mr. Kendrick to have the picture during the last week in July?^[2]

I am estimating that Mr. Kendrick’s fee will not exceed £70.0.0., and that the frame will cost about £25.0.0.

Yours sincerely,

R.V. Pollok

Colonel,

Commanding Irish Guards.
