Dear Sir,

I had yesterday a visit of Mr. Stuart Walker, the architect, who saw at my place here a very nice and cheap tapestry which he told me to write to you about and ask you as a favour to come and see it.

But to my great ill-luck, I had dictated a letter to invite you and about five minutes before the letter was signed, a customer came in and bought that tapestry so that I am deprived of the pleasure of showing it to you.  If I write you about it, it is because I presume that Mr. Walker might have written to you and, if so, I want to explain my predicament.

If, although I have not the pleasure of showing you that tapestry, you would like to come and see me and my things I will certainly be delighted to make your acquaintance. I believe I do not need to insist about that.

Believe me, my dear Sir,

Yours very truly, 

JB/CLM
