Dear Mr Frick,
It has been on my mind to write you for some time. Roland & I called on Mr. Noetzlin with your letter of introduction which insured us a most charming reception on his part. It seems his bank do not take money on deposit except from other banks & governments. He went into the matter however with a view to putting us in communication with a bank that would supply our needs & asked Roland to call in about a week's time which he writes me he has done but Mr Noetzlin told him frankly that he didn't think any bank would loan us more than a about 200000 fcs that New York which is our

headquarters should be our borrowing place. Lord Lansdowne came in this m’n’g to see the 2 small Van Dycks with Sir Charles Holroyd Curator of the National Gallery who is bringing in all the directors to see them. J. P. Heseltine and Lord Carlisle were in last week, everyone seems enthusiastic over them. Roger Fry says he hopes you will take the large one that you can't afford to miss such an incomparable work of art.
I am looking forward with much expectation to seeing you all. I have engaged rooms for you at Ritz Hotel & would strongly advise your landing at Plymouth and finishing with England before going to the continent. You will be here just in time to get the end of the season. Sunningdale is playing superbly I am anxious to have a game with you. It was very kind of you to have the Schwab note discounted for us . I am very sorry he is renewing it again. With kindest regards
Sincerely yours
C. S. Carstairs
