Letter from Sir William Orpen to Lady Beatrice Glenavy (Or-10/Or-11)

One of a collection of 36 letters all illustrated with ink or pencil sketches. Most are addressed to "Bridgit" from "Dijit". Includes a sketch of a person throwing "discretion to the wind". Orpen writes about doing that, and talking about Emil(e) Rei(t)ch, at the Carlton. He then told Beatrice to show the letter to "Miss Purser", or Sarah Henrietta Purser, a famous portrait painter and friend.
