'Whistler's proposal for a reply to be written by E. G. Kennedy.
D. W. Howland, unidentified [more]. This response to Howland's request for JW's autograph is written on the same sheet as his letter (see D. W. Howland to JW, #09870).
The letter is written entirely in JW's hand. Despite being written from the viewpoint of Kenendy, it is clear from the tone and from the additional note that JW is the true author. The postscript is in Kennedy's hand.
