The text of the letter reads
Madam, I am pleased to inform you the directors of the Royal Worcester Porcelain have sanctioned the sale of the Eastern Water Carrier figures, from the Museum attached to the Works. Mr. Evans confirmed, what the manager said, that they could no longer reproduce the old ivory tints that they made thirty years ago. Your pair apart from this, is unique in the interesting fact, that they were decorated by the celebrated French artist, Béjot, and were made not for sale, but for the late Mr. R. W. Binns' own use and at his death they were moved to the museum. I thought you would like to have these particulars as they are more than usually interesting.
I beg to remain, Madam, yours obediently, .....

Richard Binns was one of the partners during the Kerr & Binns period and was a leading director and luminary of the factory during the later Royal Worcester years. Béjot worked at the factory from 1870 to 1880 when he returned to Paris. Pieces were sent to him there for decoration. Cf. Paul Atterbury (ed.), op. cit., p. 214, fig. 703 for a similar female figure
