487 September 6, 1905. Mrs. C. D. Pickering, 174 West 55th Street, New York City, N.Y. Dear Madam:- I have had the pleasure of examining a pottery jir from Arkansas which, I believe, belongs to you. Professor Saville and Mr. Smith states that you thought of addressing Mr. Heye concerning the purchase of this specimen. I have seen Mr. Heye and described the jar and he requested that I should write you and make an offer of $17.50 for it. He said that he felt that it was worth more than fifteen dollars but that he did not care to go as high as twenty: I suggested that he make the intermediate offer as here stated. I hope that you may care to accept this amount as the jar will then find a home in a collection where it will be fully appreciated. In replying kindly address the undersigned, care of the Museum. Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I am, Respectfully yours, Geo. H. Pepper.
