Mr. Childe Hassam,
New York City.

My dear Mr. Hassam;

I have just returned from a long western tour and find your note accompanying a letter from a Boston lady, in which she says that she was quoted a price of $250.00 for your Newport Church. I would not wish to accuse the lady of prevaricating, but does it not seem as if she would have been willing to pay that amount for that picture. It is an excellent joke. She must have dreamed this story. 

I trust you are well, 

Yours sincerely,
