How was Miss Flannagan's exhibit. I met Glover today and he said yesterday he saw her making a painting of a railway carriage +c. 
  Students Day at the National Gallery should be called Ladies Day. The poor little men are far out numbered. 
  John Sargent's sister is working in the Rapheal room opposite me. She's little not clever, nor handsome or young. Very snippy I'm told. I expect any day to receive a letter to Sargent from Millet. Give my regards to all the friends.

I shall send her some little present Xmas eve. Please get those mats made and I shall immediatly forward the other sketches (Monday Dec 3d) I have planned out a fine subject across the River to paint, an old couple +c. May do the old man alone also. I have made friends with these people through their brother the Peir Captain. I shall not leave this grand city (for work) until these things are completed. 
  Start Monday on my final arrangement of these old people. 
  The canvas is not to be a large one. Please get the mats.
