Roger E. Fry, Esq., C/o "The Burlington Magazine", 17 Old Burlington Street, W.
Dear Mr. Fry, Your note of the 17th is a surprise. I do not remember failing to keep any appointment with you that I had made. You suggested some appointments which did not suit me, and I had other engagements which prevented me remaining at the hotel.
The things that you submitted to me were not at all what I desire for my collection. I regret exceedingly that I purchased from you the Rubens that is now in New York, and you admitted yourself that it was not such a picture as I should have. However, we are all liable to make mistakes, but I assure you if I had seen that picture before purchasing it I would not now be the owner of it. I look on you as a great expert, but prefer to make up my own mind as to what I want in my collection.
I regret you feel as you do, but would still be willing to consider anything that you might from time to time call to my attention.
I return the books you kindly left with me and will also have the picture delivered to Mr. Turner.
