My dear Mr. Frick:–
You bestowed a very, very great treat on my son and myself in permitting us to examine your princely collection! You surely have displayed rare taste and good judgment in making your selections, and my hope is that you may live many, many years in which to enjoy the treasures you have brought together.
So many of your examples stand out in one's mind that it is difficult to refrain from commenting on them. There is no nobler Rembrandt in existence than your "Earl of Ilchester" Portrait. Your Velasquez, "Philip IV" is, in color, the most attractive Velasquez Portrait I know. Your smaller Greco I should rather own for my personal gratification than any other Greco I have ever seen. And surely Romne's "Nature" is one of the most joyous pictures ever painted. The Van Dycks
