April 16, 1906.
Mr. H. C. Frick, 640 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Dear Sir:
Complying with your instructions of last Friday, we took down the paintings and re-stretched them. We found the Jules Breton, especially, in very bad condition. The canvas has rotted and pulled from the stretcher and for the preservation of the picture it should be bound with canvas around the edges to prevent it from wrinkling again.
Our artist says that the large Detaille ought to be taken down and the canvases re-stretched, for if they were left in the condition they are now in the wrinkles would eventually become cracks and necessitate relining the picture.
Very truly yours,
SIGNED M Knoedler & Co.
