My dear Mr. Frick,

I duly received your cable and yesterday sent you
the following in reply:-

"Two objects of which you desire particulars are
"reserved and will be submitted you by me in October Henry
"Duveen" (ends)

I at the same time notified our New York house
to the same effect to provide against any delay in
transmission of my cable to you. You will doubtless
therefore have heard from them as well.
I have, as promised, reserved both picture and
tapestry, but the only way to properly judge of these, as
to their artistic and intrinsic value, is to see them
properly displayed before you. I will, therefore,
personally submit them to you when I come over in October,
and we can then talk the whole matter over.

There are a few more important things in the collection which I have put aside for your approval and which
will be submitted to you at the same time.

I trust that you are quite well, and with kind
regards to yourself and Mrs SIC Frick, remain,

Yours sincerely,
