New Bond St. by Knordler, for the exclusive sale of American pictures.  How is that?

Whistler is great just now!  I am spending much of my time with him and in doing my portrait he is making me look like a pope, but then that is all right for there will of course, be little of Freer of it.  It will surely be all Whistler!!

I am sending to your address, from Yamanaka of London in bond to Detroit, a box containing some pottery and some books I have picked up here also some fine tea.  3 pkgs of the latter; one for Mrs Hecker, one for Anna and one for myself.  When the box is opened will you kindly request Mrs Heckers acceptance of hers with my 
compliments and kindest regards.  Tell her please to add of this tea 1/5 to the tea she buys in America.  It's for flavoring only and not to be used alone.

Kindly send Annas packages to her and I will write to her.

A full list of the thinks will go to you by next mail.

Must now close this long letter so as to get it in mail for tomorrows steamer.

With every good wish to yourself, your family and to all enquiring friends.

I am, 

Always faithfully
Charles L Freer
