If this letter is very disconnected and broken it is because I have been interrupted over and over again by visitors - Just at the season the painters have finished their work for this year and they drop in to see each other and when I am stopped short in the middle of a sentence I find it difficult to take up the threads again.

There is one thing I have asked you once or twice but you have forgotten to answer - It is about the Melchers picture - Is it in this gallery does it belong to this gallery and is it marked in any way as the prize picture? I have also asked Beatty but he does not tell me.

Sincerely

John
