My dear Mr. Frick:
I am spending a week at this place with friends and with me is Mrs. Lewis Hind of London whom I think you will remember as the one who assisted in the affair of the Holbein and Titian and who was the great friend of Sir Hugh Lane.
We are intending to motor over to Beverly one day this week and it will give us great pleasure to call upon you and Mrs Frick if you are to be at home.
Mrs. Hind expresses a great desire to meet you and has a keen admiration for your taste and knowledge of art. She is a brilliant and delightful woman and knows the London art world and all the interesting side

[beginning of page 2]
of it. She wishes to tell you of a most marvellous primitive in a private house which is not yet for sale but is of greatest value and may be obtained later.
Hoping you will have a free hour and will give us the pleasure of seeing you at any time you may choose, for we will fit our convenience to yours.
Believe me, very sincerely yours,
Alice B. Creelman
