COPY IN LETTER BOOK.

January 4, 1909.

Dear Mr. Fry:-

I am just in receipt of your favor of the 22nd of December and regret exceedingly that you think my reply to your letter was brusque. It certainly was not intended to be so. I appreciate very much your kindness in calling my attention to works of art which you think I should purchase, but at the time I wrote you and at present, I did not feel like making any purchases. I am perfectly aware that you have not the slightest desire to importune me in any way, and you have certainly done nothing to incur my displeasure.

With kind regards, believe me Always yours sincerely, [Henry Clay Frick]

Roger E. Fry, Esq., Chantry Dene, Guildford, England.
