June 7th, 1915. Mr. Chester Beach, 207 East 27th Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Beach: A gallery in a western city has told us that one of its clients desires to form a collection of form a collection of about ten small bronzes for presentation to a museum. He wants only representative pieces by the foremost sculptors, but, as he has only moderate means, it will be necessary for the various pieces to be rather inexpensive so that he can afford the whole group he is after. It seems to us that you ought to be included in such a collection and I am writing to ask what you have, by which is, at the same time, capable of a liberal museum discount. On such a scale, we would not, of course, expect our full commission, but, as whatever we do get must be divided with the other gallery, I shall have to ask for the most generous treatment you feel possible to give us. Please let me know what you have available that falls within the above provisions and also tell me the lowest price it could net you, leaving ultimate selling price and commissions to us. Yours very truly, P.S. How would Baccus and Faun do?
