1909.
Sir,
I beg to ask you if you would grant me the opportunity and privilege of making a portrait study of you — just now — (a drawing for a lithograph)
I venture to ask you for this favour particularly in regard to the forthcoming centenary celebrations.
I should only require one sitting and should not cause you, I hope, any inconvenience — and I should hope to produce a portrait which you may care to have.
I perhaps ought to state clearly that I wish to do this for my own pleasure and that I only desire from you the privilege of a sitting.
I am, | dear sir, | with compliments, | C. Moore-Park |[signature] | (R.B.A., 7.2.5., re)
14 June. 1909
In the event of your courteous acquiescence I should, of course, attend upon you at your residence —
