H. C. F., -2. special exhibition to give the annual subscribers, who in large part support the Museum, an opportunity to see them before the general public is admitted. We believe that the galleries will be crowded with visitors during the two weeks. You may think it desirable to set aside on or two days on which admission shall be charged, in order that real lovers of pictures and connoisseurs who could no see your collection satisfactorily in a crowed room, may be sure of an opportunity to see it under the best conditions. So far as the Museum is concerned, the trustees will be glad to open the galleries free every day during the exhibition, or make any other arrangement which may meet with your approval. In hopes that you will be willing to give this great pleasure to our people, I remain Yours faithfully, Gardiner Martin Lane President Henry C. Frick, Esq., Pride's Crossing, Mass.
