I could send you a pretty child-face or two that have never been printed that might be suggestive
Pray excuse me this ???? troubling you.

letter, handwriting (ink), Handwritten letter on cream paper folded into eight from James Reid of Chapel Allerton, Leeds to Ralph Hedley dated 29th Nov 1886, enclosing verse extracts for commission of two pictures., "Dear Mr. Hedley,
It is too good of you to promise me a
sketch, I never thought of such a reward. Ishall
however highly value anything from your pencil
I beg to enclose extract from - "Of such
is the Kingdom of heaven" - from which you will
gather what I want. The photos are rough unfinished
proofs that might suggest something for "Happy as the day is long"
If you could work up two little pictures in
these subjects I feel I could sell them besides
answering my purpose.
You have no need to return Photos or extract
Kind regards
Yours Sincerely
James Reid
inscribed, handwriting (ink), Name of intended recipient, "To
