De László thanks Baldry for writing, sarcastically commenting on his advice about publicity “stunts” and Sickert’s supposed artistic finesse, including his use of photographs instead of sittings. He invites Baldry to stay, hopes to have a private sitter for some studies, and mentions the reproduction of his portrait of Dr Inge [5727].
