OTTAWA
February Eighth,
1932.

Dear Sirs,-

I am not particularly interested in floral paintings and you have perhaps gathered your impression from the fact that I lent one to Mrs. Chester Dale for the Fantin-Latour show. As a fact this is the only floral piece I have and I bought it because I thought it was the best sample of Fantin's flowers that I have ever seen.

I am sure the painting by Redon which you have is very fine, but I am quite out of any position to make any purchases at present.

Please accept my thanks for the pamphlet on your place in Paris and I shall certainly make it a point to visit it on my next visit there - a very delightful as well as historical place.

Yours faithfully,
A C Hardy
