    February 21st 1936

    Dear Sir,
    I write to thank you for your letter of February 20th. I inherited the pencil sketch evidently referred to as the "Draining Mill". I sold this in September in the sale of pictures and furniture of Side-strand Hall.*
    I do not know anything about the other sketch.
    Yours faithfully,
    Samuel Hoare
    Sydney D. Kitson, Esq.

    I wrote to the auctioneer, who informed me that the Draining Mill was not in the auction sale. Presumably it is still in Sir S Hoares possession.
