373 312 #33 Perry Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, January 7th, 1904. My dear Mr. Bing:-- Your kind letter of December 25th, together with proof sheets from the Gillot Catalogue showing the wood panels, are duly received. Thank you very much for your kindness. I am looking forward with pleasure to the receipt of the complete catalogue. I had hoped to be in Paris during the time of the sale, but a rather severe illness has been with me during the last three weeks, and I haven't the courage to cross the Atlantic during this severe winter weather. I shall, however, take pleasure in requesting you to represent me at the sale, and after the receipt of the final catalogue, I shall write you more fully. With all good wishes for health and happiness during the coming year, I remain, dear Mr. Bing, Yours very sincerely, Charles L. Freer S. Bing, Esq., #19 Rue Chauchat, PARIS.
