Dear Mr. Barrie- Thank you for your kind note of June 28th. I have rather been waiting to send you a photo of a picture for which Mr. Haavte gave me [[strikethrough]] when [[/strikethrough]] an order when he was over here a little over 2 yrs ago. I have been rather long in finishing it not because I have not finished it because I had been trying to make it better & I believe it is better than it has been. [[strikethrough]] I thought [[/strikethrough]] I have had it photographed & have been waiting for some new proofs, back [[strikethrough]]to date [[/strikethrough]] to send you one Finally I have concluded to send you it later [[strikethrough]] when it [[/strikethrough]] if it should ever arrive-- Please follow the [[strikethrough]] advice[[/strikethrough]] policy of accepting any reasonable offer until time infrance.The exchange value of the $ is agreat hardship to us who live over here. Let us hope it will accomplish [[strikethrough]] for [[/strikethrough]] all that it was intended to do for you all who live in the US.- but 15 frs for a doller instead of 25 frs is a real disaster for [[strikethrough]] me [[/strikethrough]] us I shall send you early in the Fall some smaller things I am working up, but if we during this pacetime in the [[?]]anything could be sold I should be very glad. I have been pained to hear of dear Roblo's death. Thanking you for your kind responce Behawme Vysmu initorim
