DescriptionDear Signor
Many thanks for your kind wishes. I reciprocate them warmly, both for you & for Mary to whom give my love. Yes I was much shocked at poor Boehm's death. He was a most lovable man & many will mourn him - but for him the end was an ideal one - sudden and in the midst of full artistic activity. He was buried in his ordinary clothes, as he fell.
The weather is fiendish! No work for a fortnight.
Yours affec'ly
Fred Leighton
