99, OXFORD GARDENS,

NORTH KENSINGTON, W.10.

28th January 1925.

Dear Mr de Laszlo,

Here is the revised copy of your article.^[1]

Can you suggest any cuts in it as I am afraid it will be a little long. I should rather take out what you want than let the editor do it without you.

Faithfully.

Rudolph de Cordova.

P.S. I was very interested in seeing the article about you in the “Graphic” on Saturday.^[2]

If I can place an article about you and your painting of royal and distinguished personages, would you give me the necessary information and copies of the photographs to illustrate it? It would be possible in it to talk about your book and thus advertise it free of charge.

R.deC.
