Doors and window

Doors and window was drawn on the last of seven foolscap sheets dated 27 September 1888 containing an agreement between Mary Bacon Ford (fl. 1870-1908) and Sheridan Ford (1867-1922) and Whistler for the writing of The Gentle Art of Making Enemies - an agreement which Whistler was to repudiate. 1 This letter is not related to the drawing.
