My dear Roland:

I have to thank you for your interesting letter of the sixth.

The family, - thanks to you - are certainly having a most delightful visit, and from their letters, I am sure the trip will do them a great deal of good. It gives me the keenest pleasure to see the interest Helen takes in art. Their cable of yesterday signed by you all, gave me much pleasure. Would have preferred to have purchased this Rembrandt through you, but I did not want to lose the opportunity of securing it; while I paid a very high price, yet the picture is unique, being as I am told, one of two equestrian portraits by the artist. Of course you can have it for your exhibition in London. I am anxious that it should remain in Paris until the thirtieth.

We are having most beautiful weather. I have enjoyed the last few weeks very much indeed, for reasons that you will understand, and so much regret that it is so near the end. I look forward to a very quiet summer, and wish I could see some way to arrange to make a short trip abroad; I fear, however, it is out of the question.

Business is rather quiet and uncertain. If, however, we should have good crops, we may see booming times before the year ends.
