Dear Sirs:

  As per your request of the 9th instant, to examine case which you received from H.H. Newman, New Orleans, La., via Railway Express Agency, Inc., in damaged condition, I must state as an expert packer that this case was absolutely unfit for any painting to be shipped in, as the case was very poorly constructed and packed by an inexperienced person.

  Furthermore, if I must state, looking over the case carefully, I found a knot hole in one of the boards, which evidently the knot has not been there when the painting was shipped. There was a paster over it which read glass and a hole in the painting which indicates the position corresponding with the hole in said board.

  If I must state as my personal opinion, this has been done wilfully by some person unknown to me.

  Trusting that this may help you as my personal opinion of the above statement.

Very truly yours,
BROWN'S WHSE.CO.INC.
