METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
NEW YORK
May 2, 1907.
Henry C. Frick, Esq.,
640 Fifth Avenue,
New York.
Dear Mr. Frick:
Taking advantage of your kind invitation, I spent some time among your pictures day before yesterday and was more than ever impressed by their high quality. The new Rembrandt is certainly superb,– one of the finest I have ever seen. As a first-rate example of his later style it would be most interesting to show with the splendid early Rembrandt which Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt has lent us for the season, and I therefore hope that when your decision is made it will prove to be favorable to us.
Signed: Very truly yours
Edward Robinson
