''You will probably have received by this time Mr. McBey's letter to you of 19th ult., copy of which he sent to me. If you agree to his proposition, I am prepared to take charge of the 566 etchings but please do not send them to me until I write you further, as I may wish to have delivery taken of them in the first instance by Mr. McBey's Solicitor under conditions which he may wish to prescribe.
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.''
