Stamped: OFFICE OF H.C. FRICK RECEIVED JAN 16 1912 Underlined: COPY Durbins, Guildford. York, Oct. 30, 1911.
Dear Mr. Frick: I am on my way back from Helmsley which is in the Yorkshire wolds, where I have been to examine the Rembrandt. You will know its general appearance by the reproduction in Bode's book. The color is very rich and showy, the general tone dark and transparent, to the left is a vague suggestion of a harbour with ships at anchor. This is not at all realistic and being very dark and subdued might be taken for a picture, but I think is certainly intended for a view out of a window at twilight.
