[1]1

June [?] 21st 1900

Bramshott Chase Lodge, Shottermill, Haslemere

Dear Sir

I would very much like to go over to see you, & have at last this our sitting soon, as I could then, when in Sark,2 continue[2] the work.3 &, when I return in the autumn, I might, if convenient to yourself, finish it with 2 (or so) sittings more.

Would you kindly send me a word to say whether you could[3] be at home in the early part of July, & if some day at about 10 or 11 wd.[?] be a possible time for a sitting — three quarters of an hour could be just enough, & if the early hour less convenient than[4] the afternoon, I would, of course, arrange to be with you then.

In fact, any hour at all on almost any day that might suit yourself would be made suitable for me — as I think nothing of starting very early & don't care how late I might get back I am half anxious to have the pleasure of "fixing" you in a permanent form, but I quite understand that it is only as a kindness that you allow me the sitting &[5] sittings[?]3 — & that you are in no way responsible for the work.

Believe me | yours truly

The final sentence is written in the left margin of page one of the letter.
