[underlined] RICHARD C. PAINE [/underlined] --
325 Heath St.

Explained to me that most of the paintings and works of art had been left by his father to the children (himself, Mrs. Metcalf and another sister). Paine left a certain number of paintings to the Museum (Edgell told me and showed me) but far from everything. While I was talking to Paine and he was telling me all this, I was not in a position to ask him right away whether they wanted to sell anything, but I would be of the opinion of writing to Paine in the very near future saying that you heard from me that he inherited many things and if any of the children wanted to sell something you would appreciate being notified, etc.
