Your letter to my father, Mr. G. J. Cavafy, offering £105. - for a picture of Mr. Whistler's belonging to him, has been forwarded to him here. He desires me to inform you that he has no intention of selling the picture.
The Manager of the Fine Art Society.
P. S. Mr. Cavafy supposes that the picture referred to is 'the Balcony,' which he lent to Mr. Whistler for exhibition at Paris.
