Scope and content

8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Discusses the possible purchase of an Italian picture: it is a 'serious matter' as their expenses are very heavy this year, and the picture must be 'a good one for the Library' if it is to be bought. They have 'great confidence' in [Bernard] Berenson and are much obliged to him. Would like Robert to see the picture and decide whether it is in good condition and whether they would like it; they like the idea of a portrait. Would be prepared to pay up to four hundred guineas for it. They are enjoying their London season. George will be with Robert soon bringing this letter.
