New York, Aug. 11. 98.
H. C. Frick, Esq., Holland House.
Dear Sir,
The five thousand dollar offer has been gently reported to its owner yesterday evening - where I sold to him the "Plains of Barbizon" MARGINAL NOTE Red Book Folio 250 END MARGINAL NOTE by Cazin which you returned to us some time ago --, and the reply that "anybody wanting his Mauve at only sixty five hundred dollars will have to hurry up."

would not buy this picture from him.
We all must agree with him saying, that seventy five hundred doll. DOLLARS would still be reasonable and that its value will be estimated at ten thousand in a few years from now.

Very truly yours
L. F. Roos for M. Knoedler & Co.
