“To the Secretary to the Geographical Society, Bombay.
My dear Sir, — I have just arrived in England, having completed
the circumnavigation of the Earth, and my first intention was to com
ply with the wishes of the Geographical Society of Bombay, and sit
for my portrait as they desired, but 1 cannot find any communication
either to myself or to any other person as to the artist by whom the
Society wish the portrait to be executed, the amount the Society wish
to expend upon it, or to whom reference is to be made for payment.
Had I possessed information on any of these points, I would, at once,
have hastened to comply with the Society’s very flattering wishes, and
I shall therefore feel obliged by an early answer which will enable me
to carry out my desire with as little delay as possible.
The Society will, I hope, command my services whenever I can
serve them. A communication addressed to the care of Messrs, Forbes
and Co. (of Bombay), 12, Leadenhall Street, London, will be sure to
find me, and
I am, dear Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. E. Frere.
