If ever you come to Edinb' I trust you will let me know. This is my office & therefore constant address. I really can't tell you how much I like the picture, & I look forward to seeing some more of your work someday. I gave Whistler 2 sittings as I passed through London & I really think he has done with me. The picture is very good I think, & unlike anything else. The canvass is smaller than your's being 20 X 38 - the figure full length. He is very hopeful about Mrs Whistler just now & has taken a studio in London by the year Believe me Yours faithfully I.I.
