[begin page 2 of 4] 1 Under date of Feby 8th Mrs Thompson writes - "This morning we went to the Frick's house and saw the most beautiful collection of pictures and other works of art I have ever seen in this country. The house at 70th St. is a perfect beauty and the Velasquez, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Franz Hals, Rubens, Turner, Ver Mar [Vermeer], Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsborough portraits and pictures, to mention a few names, are beyond belief. There was an original Michael Angelo bronze also a Benvenuto Cellini and such Japanese and Chinese and French vases as I never saw. Then the _____? room is in place and much more beautiful than it was in the Metropolitan. The house, one of Hasting's (of Hastings & Carrère) is a gem and these rooms are lovely in themselves. It was indeed a great treat but all too short." [end page 2 of 4]
