Dear Sirs:

May I, on behalf of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony audiences, request your interest and assistance in securing the loan of the flower piece "Two Pots of Flowers" by Courbet, which we would very much like to include in an exhibition of flower pieces for the Symphony concerts of October 26 through November 10. 

I am indebted to Mr. W. G. Constable, Curator of Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for the suggestion. Mr. Constable is very kindly assisting the Orchestra in arranging its exhibits this season. Our opening exhibit of the season (see Page 3 of program enclosed) was loaned by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Fogg Museum.

If you can see your way clear to meet this request, we would like to be able to have the picture at Symphony Hall for hanging on Wednesday, October 24. The Orchestra will take care of any costs of transportation and any extra insurance which may be required beyond what you already carry.

Very sincerely yours,
