McDowall 518 North Serrano Ave. 18th January 1937. LOS ANGELES Dear Capt. Davis Needless to say, I am delighted to get in touch with you. Please thank the under manager. Yours of the 5th was waiting my return home today and has left me all agog because it is a treat to be touch with one who commanded the Dixon ships. Yes - please do send me a photograph of your painting of the Lord Downshire, the same size as the painting - if possible. I am enclosing $5.00 to defray the cost. If this is not enough kindly tell me and I will remit the correct amount. And - if in your peregrinations you should run into a good painting of a sailing vessel - say up to œ5 - I would love to have it. Ship chandler stores usually had several on their walls in the old days & doubtless with the passing of sail have relegated them to the loft or some inconspicuous place. 2 If you can pick up such a painting & will advise me of the cash, I will remit. No hurry - of course. Word count: 180 |
