Dearest girl-

Well I haven't sent you any wirelesses - things have gone from bad to worse.  Old [[Dubeddy?]] Page have backed down completely or almost so.  Even if they pay but 130 frs. per vol - They say they would have to sell them for $25.00 & that any how they don't think that they could sell them all out no matter what the price.  Don't repeat any of this to [[Hime?]] - yet - tomorrow I have an oppointment to see Mr. [[Pulman?]] & I feel sure I shall be able to arrange something yet.

Since you - old dear wife of mine - have left the only things sold have been an engraving to Mrs. Drier 20.00 - Mr. Louden 20.00 & Sid Jenkins 30.00  He also subscribed for a book - The show closed last night!!!! Just befor locking up Bouché and I took some of the bronzes off the stands & tipping the stands over on the floor we both ran round & round the gallery - I was never so sick of anything in all my life as I have been hanging round that exhibition -
