Description
Faintly written letter, in pencil, from Farmleigh, Castleknock, County Dublin, in which Orpen offers a brief overview of his activity in Dublin. The letter is marked with a cross, perhaps denoting it as a failed attempt. A more robust pen sketch appears on the reverse, entitled as 'My Daily Drive Through Dublin' which depicts Orpen being driven in a car past Jury's Hotel.
