frontier to see two Titians. All these things may be useless as one takes ten journeys and achieves one success, however I might come across something very important.
There are certain things in prospect but nothing I can speak of as they are all mere possibilities naturally I will keep you posted as to everything we get and every thing i nthe market.
None of the dealers have anything I would care to see you buy. There is a large Murillo owned by Agnew Wertheimer & Sulley very expensive
and not the character picture to buy. They also have a large Cuyp £25.000 but it wont compare with the beautiful example I showed you last winter with the Terburg. They have a Hobbema £20.000. not worth 1/2 of the one I have just purchased - etc etc. These pictures came from the Ashburton collection.
Roland sails 17 Octr. October and I expect to sail b the Kaiser Wilhelm II 25 Novr. November or possibly by the Lusitania 21 Novr. November . Betty joins me in kindest regards.
Sincerely Yours
