Dear Sir
As far as I can hear your pictures are all right.
I am sorry to say that one of your W.C drawings are out. It is a Landscape with two children. The Sailors wife is placed and the News boy. The glass of the rejected one has been broken, it looks as if the corner of some other frame had struck it.
Yours Mo truly
John S. Smith
