Dear Mr. Frick:-

I hope you reached home safely and found your family well.

Herewith enclosed I beg to send you Thaulow's latest production. It is very different from anything that you have. The size is 25 1/2 x 31 7/8. Herewith extract of letter written by our Mr. Hamman of Paris, who selected the painting. It is a clear night on a Canal of Venice. It is a good salable picture, very attractive, and not too dark.

Hoping you will find this a worthy addition to your very fine paintings by this popular master, I remain,

Yours very sincerely,

SIGNED Chas. L. Knoedler.
