[begin page 4 of 4] riding. Hase has greatly enjoyed his trip & is indebted to you for it. I think it has benefitted his health & done him no end of good. What a fortunate thing Horace returned with you otherwise this wretched stock market would have been a cause of worry to him!

Entre nous, the National Gallery have bought the woman by Van Dyck the wife of the man. They don't want it known as it won't be announced until Feby [February] next.

I hope you are enjoying Pride's. It was nice to see you over here even for so short a time.

With kindest regards, in which my wife joins, & renewed thanks for this further evidence of your friendship & thought of us

Sincerely Yours C. S. Carstairs
