Mr. C. S. Carstairs,
15 Old Bond St.,
London, W.
Dear Mr. Carstairs:
Your letter of the ninth received yesterday. I cabled you as follows: "Knoedler, London. Will loan amount till December. Will write."
If you will send me the notes of M. Knoedler & Co. payable at one of your banks in New York, on or before the fiftheenth of December, to an amount not exceeding $125,000, I will deposit the proceeds to your credit where you desire. I would not wish to extend this credit beyond that date for reasons not necessary to give. I take it that that would enable you to accomplish what you are after.
I received the catalogue of the Holland collection. There is nothing in it that I would care for.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
P.S. Please have M. Knoedler & Co. draw the notes to their own order and endorse them, as I do not want my name to appear on them.
