Dear Mr. Kelekian:--
The two small pieces of Racca Pottery were passed through the Customs House to-day, and I made instant examination of them. They are both very beautiful, but the price asked for them is entirely too high for my purse, so I have shipped them by American Express this afternoon to your brother in New York. I have also, cabled you,-
"Have sent pottery to your brother."
which I now beg to confirm.

The very high prices which Racca Pottery now commends place it beyond myy power to collect, so I must stop buying for the present at any rate. This being the case, please do not ship any more specimens to me direct. Later, if I am fortunate enough to be able to pay the prices, which I know you can get elsewhere, I shall hope to become your customer again.

I appreciate very much the beautiful things you have allowed me to have the first choice of and I only regret that I have not the means at present to continue buying.
With kindest regards,
Very sincerely yours,
Charles L Freer
