November, 9th, 1925. 

To the Secretary of the Treasury,
Honorable Andrew Mellon,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr Mellon:

You will most probably remember that it was my privilege to be introduced to you by our Ambassador, His Excellency, Mr. Daeschner, last year in Pittsburgh, and while I was in Washington last winter, you were kind enough, upon His Excellency, Ambassador Wallace's request, to give me the great pleasure of seeing your beautiful home.

Realizing the very fine quality of the things which interest you, I take the liberty to let you know that we have brought over, amongst other works of art, what is considered, not only by us, but also by some of the Museum Directors who have seen it, the finest tapestry ever brought to this country.  It is after Raphael, and considered the nearest to the tapestries in the Vatican, though smaller in size and richer in its gold texture.

I hope that there will soon be an opportunity for me to have the pleasure of your visit, and to show you the things we have brought over here.

With best regards, believe me to be,

Yours very sincerely,
