St Marys Place,
Newcastle on Tyne.
Dear Sir:-
We have had recourse to go to a cellar where Messrs Bradley, late of Charklotte Street (who have now given up business) have warehoused a number of the works of their clients, and noticed amog them a work by the late Ralph Hedley.
We have taken the liberty of looking after your interest in the matter and have obtained this picture, in view of the fact that the cellar was very dampand not a place suitable for leaving works of art.
As no rent has been paid since last September we had to pay 2/- warehousing. This is a special arrangement we have made with the Landlord to obtain the works of our own clients.
Trusting that we have acted in accordance
[TWCMS: 2014.760.37..2]
(2)
with your wishes in the matter, and asking what we are to do with the picture.
Yours Faithfully,
FOR AND ON BEHALF OF
JAS. BOURLET & SONS LTD,.
[Initialled AWB] DIRECTOR
