Dear Mr Frick,
I was sorry to learn from Roland that you had abandoned your trip to Europe. You would have enjoyed our new place & it is a jolly place for lunch & thoroughly comfortable throughout. Our exhibition is a great success & is very fine. I borrowed some fine pictures here in London for the opening & I think have established the fact that we deal in other things than Ridgway Knights and Chelminskis. Roland is very pleased with it & has never been so comfortable in his life.
I went to Coombe Monday & it brought to mind our fine contests of last year. It did look beautiful the blue bells & chrysanthemums & the courses has been very much improved. We couldnt get Coombe House

as the Pearsons are remaining, but expect to have it July & August.
I saw Mr & Mrs Bryce Allan in Paris they wanted to know if you were coming over. Have seen very little of Dunn as I have been in Paris 8 wks, never stayed there so long. Didn't play much golf. I needed your presence as an excuse. Pictures are bringing good prices & a number of sales are taking place here and in Paris but I dont think anything for you. I haven't seen Allom since his return, but some one told me you had given him the contract I think he is about the best man here & am sure you will be pleased. Betty hasn't been at all well for some time. She consulted Dr. Gorodiche in Paris. If there is anything over here that I can attend to for you please let me know.
With kindest regards
Always Sincerely
C. S. Carstairs
