My dear Sir. Morse:-

I had a very comfortable homeward journey, and am still revelling [[reveling]] in the delights of my visit at Evanston. Each visit with yourself and Mrs. Morse develops some new charm. And better acquaintance with your collections adds greatly to my understanding of Oriental Art. It is a great privilege to have been allowed to see all of your paintings and so many specimens of pottery.

Some time, in the future, I want to see, during one visit, all of your prints. One needs to have preliminary knowledge of what there is to be seen in a group like that possessed by yourself; then it is necessary to see each department by itself. By your kind co-operation to this end, I have learned not only from the things shown but your interesting description and criticism thereof.

The two days will remain red letter ones in my calendar of a year, which has been particularly instructive and inspiring. The visit at Miss Watson's was, also, delightful. And I am now anticipating a reunion in Detroit after the exhibition room shall have been finished.

Accept for yourself, and kindly present to Mrs. Morse, my appreciation and kind regards. 

Very sincerely yours,
Charles L. Freer
