Dear Mr Frick, I was very pleased to receive your cable, it was very thoughtful of you to send it. I felt you must be delighted to get there 2 pictures, in my opinion they are very choice + I should have regretted anyone acquiring them but you -- If you feel so inclined you might pay us for the Constable the beginning of Oct which would enable us to pay our note to the National City 8 Oct $50.000. We will pay the one of $75,000. Sept 2nd. I am anxious to do this because it is our first transaction with them + by Dec we should be flush? and well able to meet our note to you of $125,000.-
