Dear Professor Fenollosa:--
Your kind letter of December 11th came this morning. As named in my letter to you of yesterday, I am to start for Washington this evening and expect to remain there two or three days. In writing you yesterday it seemed as if I might reach New York on Saturday or Sunday next and this may prove to be the case. But in reviewing the work in Washington it now seems as if I am not likely to be in New York before Monday, the 18th, when I hope for the pleasure of seeing you. You are plannining, as I now understand, to leave New York on the morning of the 20th, so we are quite sure to meet in New York.
The exhibition in Washington will depend entirely upon the result of my conference with the President and the facilities offered by Washington for an exhibition. I fear the only good  rooms available are in the Congressional Library Building, and those are better adapted to showing prints then anything else. However, I shall look into the matter most carefully and should I decide to send Japanese Kakemono or Screens I shall, of course, wish to consult with you very carefully, and would enjoy very much your assistance in preparing a brief catalog.
