Letter #1 419 W. 118th St. New York Monday March 4th 1901 Dear Mr Freer- After a comfortable and uneventful journey. I arrived home on Saturday in time for lunch, and was not the least tired in the evening for the artists at Mr. Wyant's. I can't tell you in adequate words what light of encouragement and color of joy you made that all too short week [[I had?]] over my winter in America, and forward along my life work. I feel like a new man, warmed with your sympathetic comprehension and frank friendship. Next to you, the joy was in your friends, whom I had the great privilege of winning, to some extent, for mine.
