/LETTERHEAD
February 15th, 1899.
Mr. H. C. Frick,
Carniege SIC Bldg.,
Pittsburg, Pa.
Dear Mr. Frick:-
Your telegram was duly received, namely confining
yourself to the "wood gatherers" by Inness.
The "Nine o'clock" which sold last night, I thought if
it went at a low figure I would bid on it, but it went beyond
its value, vs., $3100.- It is a very thin painting and not
very atmospheric and surely some time or other there will be
something far better to turn up and that will please you more.
The sale was a tremendous success.
The following are some of the prices:-
No. 38, Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$1050.-
No. 39. Albert P. Ryder, . . . . . . $2250.-
No. 40. Wynant, . . . . . . . . . . . . .$1200.-
No. 50. Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$3100.-
No. 54. Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$1650.-
No. 59. Winslow Homer, . . . . ..$2625.-
No. 61. Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$3100.-
No. 84. Winslow Homer, . . . . ..$3200.-
No. 85. Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1080.-
No. 89. Homer Martin, . . . . . . .$5500.-
No. 91. Troyon, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$2050.-
No. 92. Winslow Homer, . . . . ..$1675.-
No. 93. Inness, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3650.-
As you will see, they all brought above their values,
especially the Winslow Homers, which were valued about $1200. - each
and the Homer Martin which Mr. Clarke, (as they say) paid a
Thousand Dollars for.
