It is food to know that you are getting on so splendidly with "The Angel". I am sure, as I have been from the start, that in the end you will succeed in making it the master piece you have wished for from the beginning. I am glad, too, that you will have the Stanford White frame sent to you. I will write Stanford White's office to-day asking them to send the bill for the frame to me.

While near the equator I shall watch for the skins of the birds you have named and shall, of course, be delighted to send you to the most attractive ones obtainable.

I find that many things which must be done before sailing will keep me busy up to the last hour, so I must forego the pleasure of another run to Monadnock this Fall. Your messages to Jerome, Coleman and Vedder shall be delivered with pleasure, and I shall drop you another line before sailing, telling you the latest news from the Corcoran people.

Yours affectionately,
Charles L. Freer
