H. C. Frick, Esq.,

NEW YORK.
Dear Mr. Frick,
I have only to-day today, through some error of the Paris office, in not advising me, discovered your photograph, which you were so kind and thoughtful as to send me and which I so much appreciate, and I feel very badly to think it has not been acknowledged. It arrived at a time when Roland, Carl and Hamman were all away, and, although shipped here, was not given to me.
I duly received your letter of the 4th September, and just after your cable. I did not answer this letter as I rather expected to hear from you confirming your cable, and since then have been away almost constantly in Berlin, Paris &c. et cetera As I cabled you, I withdrew the offer, which was just in time as I think they were about to accept it. However, the matter is now closed and nothing more will be done unless you advise me.
Dunn lunched with me a couple of weeks ago and told me of his visit to you and how much he enjoyed it. I haven't seen much of him since his return as he seems to have been very busy and I have been away.
