Dear Mr. Erikson,

       Studying the primitive paintings, I came across an interesting item which I thought you would like to own. In the book by Salomon Reinach "Rèpertoire de Peintures", I find a reproduction and description of your large primitive painting, "The Legion of St. Augustine", which I sold you a number of years ago while I was associated with the Bachstitz Galleries.

       I thought you would like to possess a copy of this book for your library and permit me to present the enclosed to you with my best compliments.

       I am sincerely sorry not having had an opportunity of seeing you at all this Winter. I am leaving on Friday next for Europe.

       I hope you and Mrs. Erikson will have a very pleasant and agreeable Summer, and believe me to be, dear Mr. Erikson, with my kindest regards to you both,

                                        Yours faithfully,

                                        (R. H. Waegen)
