NATIONAL GALLERY,

18 Dec 1913

Dear Mr de Lászlo,

Thank you very much for your very kind present of a proof of the mezzotint after your handsome portrait of Lord Curzon [3890]. It is especially grateful to me just now after his Lordship’s defense of my action in the mines and because my son is at present an Oxford student.[1] Thank you very much indeed for it. Wishing you and Mr de László and all yours a very happy Christmas and new year.

Yours faithfully

Charles Holroyd.
