Dear Madame Jerichau.

               I return you the enclosed letter, which I am much obliged to you for allowing me to see.
There is nothing in it which could offend any one.
I cannot help thinking // that this is a mis-understanding arising out of the folly & stupidity of some servant; & if I can I will get to the bottom of the mystery.
I am glad to hear that the pictures are to be exhibited so soon // you may rely on my help.
Mrs Dasent is out of town for the week, or she would join me in kind regards to you.
               Believe me
                   Very truly yours
                       G.W. Dasent
