Dear Mr Wallace,
Your letter of the 4th I have received, in answer to your enquiry as to whether I will allow a Photograph to be taken of the [2] "Greenell picture"1. I do not care to let this picture go out of the House therefore I must refuse your request. I am sorry I am obliged to do so.
With kind regards | yours sincerely | [2 words illeg.] Gorringe [signature]
