Childe Hassam, Esq.,
East Hampton, L. I.

Dear Mr. Hassam;

Your interesting letter of the 2nd instant received. 

While we had your picture of the Newport church it was consigned to us at forty-five hundred dollars ($4500.00) subject to our usual commission of 25%.
 
I note what you say regarding the letter which you intend to write to the lady. It is very nice of you to remember us.
 
I believe that you have the frame which we made for the picture and hope that you will be able to include it in the deal if it should go through. Everyone who saw the picture in our gallery remarked on the frame.

We were much disappointed at not having the pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Hassam this
