Summary
Saying "Thank you for your letter about the Furse picture of Margaret Henley. And my cordial thanks also to Mrs. Richmond for saying it could stay on here if I wish it, but the fact is my rooms are far too low for it and it has to be stood on the floor and I have only kept it because Mrs. Henley was in difficulty about what to do with it, so that I should be very pleased if you could have it removed at your convenience."
