Description
Handwritten letter in which Orpen writes of a recent dinner party where 'Mrs. Mullen (Nellie's sister) was most entertaining - her stories were quite the 'limit' but father laughed hard all the time so I suppose I'm wrong in thinking them so…' He also mentions his progress with the 'Lawson' portrait, and the [Townsend] picture.
