1867 Jan 12; Subject: A (secret) cut-rate price for the little picture because you had purchased an unprofitable one. If it is unsuccessful, I'll substitute an ordinary watercolour since I've already been offered a good price. I repeat, I am not responsible for the story and do not wish to hear about it again. MUTILATED: Cheyne Walk heading [?] and signature cut out with loss of text. Docketed. Handle with care.
