TO THE EDITOR:

Pall Mall Gazette, April 27, 1889.

Sir—You are badly informed—a risk you constantly run in your haste for pleasing news.

I have not “withdrawn” my works “from the forthcoming Paris Exhibition.”

I transported my pictures from the American department to the British section of the “Exposition Internationale,” where I prefer to be represented.

“The French” have nothing, so far, to do with English or American exhibits.

A little paragraph is a dangerous thing.

And I am, Sir,
Butterfly Chelsea.
