115 Imperial Hotels, Ltd. Tokio. (Imperial Hotel & Villa, and Metropole Hotel.) CARL FLAIG, Gen. Manager. Imperial Hotel and Villa. May 6th, 1907. For Miss Rhoades consideration Dear Colonel Hecker, I have just found time to carefully examine the catalogue of the Horace N. Allen, catalogue of Korean Pottery, which came to me a few days ago and am now wiring you "Please buy Allen Collection Corean pottery - sidecut". From the descriptions given in the catalogue, I am sure that a large number of the specimens are extremely rare and interesting - some probably unique. The better ones added to the pieces I already have, will place my collection of Corean pottery along with the best in existence. The price $5,000 for the 80 pieces is really low. All kinds of ancient pottery in Japan is now fearfully dear - old Chinese, old Corean and first class Japanese has doubled in price 148
