Mr. Wm. Wheelock, 
#421 Summit Street,
St. Paul, Minn. 

Dear Sir:-
In reply to your courteous letter of the 12th instant, I regret to say, that I have at present no portrait by Whistler available for your forth-coming exhibition.

My house is now being re-built and my collections are considerably scattered. A part in Europe, the balance in fire-proof storage and cannot be obtained in time to meet your requirements.

Wishing your exhibition every success and regretting that I cannot contribute to it, I am,
Very respectfully yours,
Charles L Freer
