Chas. L. Freer Esq.,

Dear Sir:-

I take the liberty of sending you an etching by Sir Seymour Haden, which is of the greatest rarity, and thinking you probably might not have it in your collection and that it would be interesting for you to see it , and perhaps secure it. The etching is No. 8 in Drake's catalogue and you are undoubtedly aware that the first nine numbers described in that catalogue are very scarce. I found this print in Paris , at a moderate price and can sell it to you for $45.00. It is dedicated to Monsieur Delâtre by Sir Seymour Haden [[/underlined]]. Should you not desire to keep it please return it to my address, 203 Michigan Ave., Chicago. I enclose herewith my catalogue of Whistlers', and have marked three with a cross; Wedmore number 26 [[checkmark]], 46 [[checkmark]], 71. Likely you possess already these three, however, you might possibly not have the first state of either No. 26 [[checkmark]] and 46 [[checkmark]], and I shall gladly send them to you on approval, at my [[note]] first [[/note]] expense if you think that you would care to see them. The collection at present at the Art Institute, that includes a part of your valuable collection, really looks well. I arranged the exhibition the best I could under the circumstances.

Yours truly

Albert Roullier
