MUSEUM OF FIE ARTS BOSTON, MASS. November 21, 1910. Dear Mr. Frick: I am delighted to received your letter of the 19th, and to note that you will allow us to exhibit your pictures in the Museum. The gallery will be ready by Tuesday, November 29th. We are changing the coloring. The color in the gallery has never been satisfactory and would not in our opinion be so becoming to your pictures as the color we are now putting on, which is a gray green, over the purple now on the walls. This purple will give the gray green a warm tint. We will send invitations to our annual subscribers to a private view of your collection on Thursday, December 1st from two to four o'clock. I hope very much that you and Mrs. Frick will be present and any of your friends whom you may care to bring with you. It will be a pleasure to our trustees and their wives to meet you and Mrs. Frick. We propose during the hours when the exhibition is ope to have three custodians in the gallery whenever it is in the least crowded. During the mornings, when it is not likely to be crowded, we shall have two custodians. We shall have a policeman in the gallery the whole time it is (7-284-492)
