Letter from Waterhouse to Feeney

 

 

Transcription:

April 25th

Dear Feeney

I am sorry to have bad news about your picture. I went to the R.A. yesterday and could not find it anywhere. I therefore made enquiries and they told me it was out. We are all very sorry about it, but better luck next time. Greiffenhagen has both portraits out, only one little on in. The show is bad it seems to me nothing new, everything tame; in fact nobody seems to have tried for anything at all. Got your letter this morning and am glad to hear you are working.
With kindest regards from my wife & myself,
Believe me
Yours very sincerely,
J.W. Waterhouse
