#33 Ferry Avenue, 
Detroit, Michigan, 
March 20th, 1908.

Dear Mr. Walcott:-

Let me thank you for the two beautiful photographs of the snow scene from the East window of the Smithsonian Building during January. They are fascinating and certainly do suggest the Winter subjects painted by several leading Japanese Artists. 

Let me send you in turn, a photograph of a small bronze Kannon of the Suiko period, (about 600 A.D.,) which recently came to me from Japan and which will eventually find a permanent home not far from the scene shown in your two photographs. 

It was a real pleasure to meet you in Washington recently, and I am hoping ere long to have the pleasure of seeing you in Detroit and introducing you to the Collections now in my care, but which are destined to be guarded by your Institution. 

Believe me, with cordial greetings, 

Very truly yours, 
Charles L. Freer


Charles D. Walcott, Esq.,
Secretary, Smithsonian Institution, 
Washington, D. C.
