2pp., landscape 8vo. In envelope, with stamp and postmark, addressed to 'Miss I. Forbes-Robertson | 30a. Collingham Place | Earls Court | S.W.5.' In good condition, lightly aged. The first part of the letter concerns a lost or stolen letter and cheque. 'Of course I shall pay you - but it is s. sweet of you to suggest the present'. She repeats information she gave in the letter about which artists' materials she would like: 'Paper for water-colour is becoming scarce too but I have some at the moment'. She turns to Ida's father Eric Forbes-Robertson, who studied in Paris with Gaugin: 'It is splendid about the Gaugin drawing of your Father; I shall hope to see it one day & any sketch books with your Father's work. He has made some beautiful little studies of trees, I remember.'
