The draft for £3.000 is for a splendid lot of 31 drawings in oil, water colors and pastels all by Whistler purchased from H. E. Theobald, an old time collector of Mr. Whistlers work.  They are all framed (the 31) and are undoubtedly the finest group of his small things in existence.  added to the others I already own, they will, combined, help my collection very much.

The purchases covered by the three last named drafts will all be forwarded by W. S. Marchant & Co. in bond, to Detroit.  There will be no duty, of course, on the Whistlers.  Proper custom house documents will accompany the things.  Kindly let Mr Alleson pass the shipments when they, arrive.

This being a sort of business letter I will close same by simply adding that I am very well and happy and hope that all goes well with you and yours.

Faithfully
Charles L Freer
