Since my return home I have been studying carefully the frame surrounding "A Head", which I agreed to send you a photographic copy of, but I have come to the conclusion that while it is very appropriate for a half length figure, it would look very badly on a life-size figure. You will remember that the design really embodies I think if it were used for a standing figure it would really be impossible. This being the case, would it not be wiser to use the Stanford White frame in which "The Angel" was shown in New York? Let us try it in that frame and if it should look well, keep it permanently, but if the frame should not please you, then let us get some competent person to design something else for it.

Trusting you are keeping very well,

I remain,

Affectionately yours,
Charles L. Freer
