Dear Dollman,
I had been hoping to come over and see your work, but a picture I am doing has given me so much trouble that if it is to go to the R.A. I must work very hard at it and give it every chance. Therefore it is difficult to get away just now. I am sorry to hear that you have been laid up with a cold but hope you are all right now, and that the picture is finished. I wish you all luck with it, and hope to see it in a good place at the Academy. With kind regards to Mrs. Dollman and Miss Dollman.
Believe me
Yrs very sincerely
J.W. Waterhouse
