My Dear Mr. De Laszlo.

Please forgive me for the delay in replying to your letter which arrived when I was in Northumberland. I shall not only feel very proud of having been asked to sit for my picture [5398] to be hung in the Church House but it will be a special pleasure to me that it is to be in your studio, a pleasure that

is shared by my wife.^[1]

The end of this month, however, is a very difficult time for me – not only have I got a great many things to do then, but my daughter is to be married on July 26 & I feel that my time will not be my own.^[2] 

Perhaps sometime in the late Autumn would be equally convenient to you?^[3]

I am anxious to see your picture of Lord Cecil [4053].

Your sincerely

Grey
