Derwentwater Hotel,

Keswick.

18th Sept 1916

Dear Mr de Laszlo –

When you finished my portrait [5657] in the Autumn of 1914 you told me I ought to have it revarnished at the end of two years and my recollection is you said you would kindly do it yourself.

What would you like me to

[Page 2]

do about it. I shall be going away on circuit for about three weeks from the 13th October and if it could be sent for and varnished during this period I should be greatly obliged as my Wife^[1] is so fond of the picture she does not like it to be away when we are at home

[Page 3]

I hope that Mrs de Laszlo^[2] and your children have had a charming holiday. I know you would want it as I have heard how busy you have been.

I saw a beautiful portrait by you of Mrs. George Sandys [11222] at Greythwaite the other day.

[Page 4]

Would you kindly answer this to the above address as we are staying in this beautiful place for another ten days

Yours sincerely

T Gardner Horridge
